Big Brother Is Watching You

[vocalEK]

Well, I don't know about you, but he certainly must be watching me. Look what popped up in the advertisement area of my email program just now.

P.S. (I take generic levothyroxine, not the brand name.)

You have got a tracking cookie ... I have adblock on firefox now because a couple of dresses I had recently viewed on John Lewis kept following me from site to site. lol

Eyes and ears everywhere we don't need them and yet none where we do 😎

I do believe he is watching. Especially anything we put on the Internet.

These 'advertising cookies' are stored on your device. If you can't clear cache or ranp up your internet security use a web browser called duckduckgo, it is like many browsers (google,chrome,firefox) but it is private and your data and browsing is private. I did a bunch of maintenance in my laptop and phone and was shocked at the amount of breaches i had allowed. 😊

However, I find that the data "they" keep about you is not very accurate. As I work in IT, I keep getting ads for replacement windows...

LOL.

If you download something like Ghostery it helps make your computer safer as it cannot be seen by big brother. Worth having a look. I get fed up with penis extension ads, as an elderly female, who has never searched for anything like that!
