Much scarier than "my screen on an item told me how much less the item was with my cashback applied", is an advertisement appear, related to something you were just discussing with someone in your household.

Are "they" listening to our conversations too?

I have been in one window researching an item and in another unrelated window (same pc) I see an ad pop for something tied to the other research topic. I put google cookie prohibitions on in my browser from that day forward.

Unrelated, but sort of, I opened an ally bank online acct 3 days ago. They force me to receive ‘security’ emails notifying me of transfers in/out of that account. They will not allow me to turn that emailing action off. Last thing I need is gmail to see a $26,000 transfer and bounce ads based on that knoweledge. Nothing secure about email and yet its a feature, not a defect !!

Any thoughts?
