Gransnet Adverts

I doubt that we get the same ads. I live in Germany and get ads for German products. They are usually related to searches or purchases I have made over the internet. It depends on your cookie settings.

What does amaze me is that I sometimes get ads in German for something mentioned in the Gransnet thread I am just reading, although the thread is of course in English.

I sometimes get ads for stuff that I have just googled - very eerie !!!

Totally agree crazyH.
Feels like big brother is watching.

I get makeup ads all the time, they drive me nuts. I have bought some of the makeup advertised (not as a result of GN advertising!) and I wasn’t impressed.

I get ads for things I've spoken about.
My phone bugs me!

I get irritating video ads across the whole page, between two Gransnet posts. One shows three women, others show some dish or other being made. Another shows a woman with a personal trainer. The sound is off so I can’t hear them but I do find them greatly annoying.

Same here Bellanonna it's so very annoying 😡

Nobody
It’s got nothing to do with application it’s all done with filters.

I haven’t seen any adverts like that Nobody. Either the advertising algorithm thinks I’m beautiful enough or it thinks I’m beyond redemption

So do I and shops like Boden where I buy the odd thing.
I always find amusing the list that is given of things that grans netters are buying, some are helpful but others the price of them on pensions!!!!

I love reading that list Yammy. Some of it makes me smile, but sometimes it gives me helpful hints to products I might want to buy. Today’s list includes Simple eye balm that might suit my sensitive skin.
