Why am I seeeing ads that relate to the sites I have visited?

If, for example, I visit the Hudson Bay site, subsequently at other sites, ads for things that I looked on the Hudson Bay will appear. Why? Isn't this follow-up? I use DuckDuckGo.

Hi moira!

DuckDuckGo is a search engine that will not follow the terms you're looking for. Once you click on a result of the search and go to the site, however, the website may choose to leave a cookie on your device for monitoring purposes. DuckDuckGo would have no control over that.

Monitoring is not usually however collect personal identification information.

I hope this helps you! Let us know if is not yet known.

  • How do I disable Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash ads that slow down the browser unless an analysis.

    Some pages contain 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash ads running at the same time, which slows down the browser a lot. Then, if you happen to have several tabs open, the browser is dragging virtually interrupted and many times is not responding at all.

    I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not it be something that works all the time for each page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - who kills even the Adobe Flash elements you can watch; like a youtube video.

    Why is there not a way to disable Adobe Flash in the browser? I have updated Firefox and Adobe Flash, but nowhere is there at - it an option to turn on or off according to your needs.

    A control can be added to the Internet Options that you can set to have a page request before it is allowed to run the Flash content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY increase the pleasure of sailing on several pages.

    Any information on how to do it, would be appreciated.

    Hello, this is already possible in firefox: go to firefox/tools > addons > plugins and shockwave flash to Activategame. then the plugin will be disabled by default but can be enabled on a site-by-site basis.

  • ERROR RELATIVE TO THE SITE ROOT-

    I have setup a site on my local machine.
    My site is configured as follows:
    Local root folder: D:\Data\PDFPOP.COM\ElegantAluminum\
    Default images folder: D:\Data\PDFPOP.COM\ElegantAluminum\images\
    Relative links to: the SITE ROOT

    IIS is set to the root directory: D:\Data\PDFPOP.COM\ElegantAluminum\

    When I insert an image in a web page, the source of the image incorrectly displays the relative root as follows:
    SRC="/ElegantAluminum/images/somepic.jpg".

    It should be:
    SRC="/images/somepic.jpg".

    It seems that the root folder is powered correctly, by, including the real root directory folder. With the incorrect image paths, I have to manually change the source of the image so that it appears correctly.

  • Family safety report says that a blocked Web site has been visited several times.

    OT: The family safety report.

    On my report it says that a blocked site has been visited 120 times. How is this possible when it is blocked?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    Have you checked by accessing the site blocked in the child's account to see if it's blocked or not?

    Safe family activity reports will include sites that are visited but blocked. Also, sites that was redirected from other sites, or use a feature of this site (such as the Facebook Like function and share) will add also upward to the activity report.

    I suggest you to check by accessing the Web site of the child's account. Also, make sure that the child's account does not use proxy connections.

    You can also update the family safety filter and check the results.

    How to update the family safety filter?

  • How can I get my xp computer that relates to the time capsule hard airport to connect to the internet

    My time capsule airport works to my iMac and my Sony laptop win7.

    I also have a windows xp computer that needs to connect to the internet while the airport time capsule hard cable . However, that xp computer seems not to recognize that the capsule exists and cannot connect to the internet. Can someone help me do this work? I'm not fluent in technical aspects of networks and connections. On the Sony, I just had to select the wireless network and put the password and everything was good. With the XP, nothing but problems.

    Help?

    Can your computer XP connect to Internet from other networks or simply not yours? From the description of your problem, looks like a configuration issue with your Windows XP computer and NOT the airport Time Capsule.

    Note: You do now that Microsoft does support Windows XP and that she would run as a potential security risk, especially when accessing Internet with it?

    However, if you still wish to pursue this, you can try the following to help you get started. You can post to a forum of Microsoft support for troubleshooting of networking with Windows XP problems.

    Step 1. Check your network configuration.

    To check the settings of network configuration for the correct IP address information, you can do the following:

    • In the command prompt window, type ipconfig/alland then press ENTER.
    • The results of this command will display a list of IPv4 default gateway addresses (this should be your Time Capsule) and DNS settings for all of your network interfaces (Ethernet, wireless, etc.) By default, your IPv4 address should be something like: 10.0.1.n.; the default gateway address should be: 10.0.1.1. The DNS addresses must match what your ISP provides you.
    • If you get an IPv4 address that begins with 169.n.n.n, then go to step 2 below.

    Step 2. Try to repair the connection.
    Network connection repair feature to renew the IPv4 network connection setting to try to correct the configuration on your Windows XP device issues. To access repair network connection, follow these steps:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click network connections.
    • Right click on the connection that you want to repair and then click Repair. Repair function will perform a number of steps automatically to try to fix the poorly configured settings for your network connection.

  • Why Windows 7 keep forgetting that I deleted the resurrection and my new WiFi password?

    I just changed my internet provider and they gave us a new WiFi router.

    I tell my Windows 7 computer to connect to the new network and do not forget the password for it, I also deleted the old network.
    Now I am pulling my hair because for some reason any Windows decides to forget that I told it to remember the password, and after having restarted my computer, I have to connect and manually enter the password again. Moreover, the former network that I deleted keeps reappearing! I tried implementing a new network manually through "Set up a connection" but it does not work.
    I will do this every time I start the crazy machine. Can anyone help?

  • For the last week, I had problems on the Web pages in the browser look at a box itself (the box that actually shows the site), I can't click on anything anyone in the top thumb or inch - and a quarter. What does this, and how can this be repaired?

    This applies to all links and anything in this field unless it falls below, then I can click on it. The only thing that seems to get around it, is on a bar at the top of a Web search, I can click and type, but there is no text cursor.

    This problem occurs even when I scroll down, the same area of a Web site can be clicked, because of this problem.

    This does not affect the toolbars, bookmarks, etc..

    Recently, the Yahoo toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. They appear to overlap invisibly on the top of the display of the web page. You have both installed, uninstall or disable them / it or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

    I can not the firefox window to ask me if I want to remember my password. I'm not in private browsing. The site is not on the list of exceptions in the security zone where all other sites of passwords are stored.

    Hello, Web sites can specify whether browsers should be able to save the name of user and password (through the AutoComplete = "off" attribute in the login form in the html source code)-it is often the case when a high level of security is probably held by these sites.

    You can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this restriction.
