krinklypants Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm guessing that there must be some kind of tracking cookie on my machine...Suddenly on several of the non-diaper related websites that I visit, I am now getting constant ads for Depends and HDIS. Anyone else have this happen? I could see where that could be a real problem for someone in the closet on a shared computer! Link to comment

Anyone else have this happen? I could see where that could be a real problem for someone in the closet on a shared computer! It's all cookie-based, Krinkly. You can change your browser preferences to not use any cookies, but that's a pain and will affect nearly every site you go to. OR you can make sure you're using IE8 and use the "InPrivate" feature. That's what I do. To activate a private window, just press CTRL and SHIFT and P all at the same time. I hope that helps! -RMS Link to comment

Sorry, I know that is probably worrysome, especially when using a computer that is used by others in the household, but for anyone who's ever played Warcraft (myself included), that's FUNNY! I cna just see the commercials targeted for gamers! LMFAO!! Link to comment
