Stupid Adverts 2010-09-14 06:08:36 Reply

I have a car that needs to be sold soon so I checked on a few sites for some quotes. Later in the day I find a banner advert on a different website with all the information about the car, it included a picture. They used the information I gave them for a quote to con me into clicking this advert. I do not have an account on this site so I am unable to remove the information. The same advert popped up on Newgrounds as well. Is this the right thing to do with adverts? Sounds like some pedo.

I'm not sure, but i think those are tracking cookies. You may want to ask other people about that, because I'm not really sure

Wasting food is a horrible thing to do, especially when considering the state of the economy.
