I hate being watched, tracked, quizzed etc., and this really winds me up. Because I looked at a hollow bodied guitar the other day, I have been bombarded with ads from Temu, Etsi and Ali Baba! Even to "unsubscribe" (to stuff that I hadn't subscribed to) you have to log on! Log on? Jog on! I just blocked them instead.

Plus............. I just had to return yet another piece of Far Eastern c*ap that didn't work, straight out of the box (which was covered in German addresses but was still made in the PRC !)

I was reading about that Temu scam the other day, Looks like a lot of people have been scammed. https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/26/temu-...heme-20534411/

If you want to get rid of cookies, which personalise ads to what you have been recently viewing, you could try superantispyware. Its free and will remove pretty much all your cookies and checks for other types of spyware at the same time. There is a paid version but that just gives you real time protection extra rather than having to scan from time to time so i have never felt the need for it. I also do not have it starting with windows as it will just remind you of the paid version.
