Strange Thing Happened With Laptops

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Mr BD are both on our laptops while we watch the T20 cricket. I'm dipping in and out of AB and he's on Facebook on his. I just googled a make of car on mine, had a quick look at them and then came out of the site but said out loud "Oh well I'll just have to wait until I can afford a Maserati". I was not looking at Maseratis by the way. He immediately asked me if I had been looking at Jeeps. which I had, as adverts for Jeeps had suddenly popped up his Facebook site. I don't understand how that happens but worse than that he is now getting adverts for Maseratis. How the heck does that happen when I've not even googled them only said it out loud.

I posted a thread in early January about a friend of mine wearing a fedora hat at Christmas and for weeks afterwards adverts for fedora hats kept popping up on my laptop. Only recently stopped !

Computers know everything ...

I never think about if I'm honest BD , I generally just clear the cache of cookies and that stops them

I clear the history on my laptop each week. Is that what you mean? Never used the camera as I don't Zoom. Miss my grandson for all this but he's now down on the south coast. Perhaps I should learn to Zoom for when their baby is born in May. Have thought about moving down there as that would be a lot easier for me although maybe a tad more expensive!

In your history you should also see 'clear cache' that will delete all of the cookies stored on anything you've looked at BD
