As we all know each hour we can watch a ad to halve the mission time of a mission...

 

Now normally for me, the ads I get are for other online games, like some dragon game and a tank game, not sure who would win the battle between a tank and a dragon though, I guess it depends on how big the dragon is, or type of tank........ But anyways moving on...

 

I have been looking online for a bluetooth portable speaker, in particular the UE Megaboom, if I am allowed to name the brand, and this evening brought one for myself as they were on sale.

 

Now I am just getting ads for that in the game, I know certain browsers spy in that way, but now the game is

Using chrome? Google collects gigabytes of data on you. The ads could come from purchases, searches and ads you previously clicked to name merely a few of the possibilities. I imagine other browsers do it too.

Yeah other browsers do it to me as well, I just did not think it would extend into the game, not such a big issue though, the one thing about the ads though, once I have decided to buy a item, I wish there was something I could click with ads saying "Hey thankies for the ad, but I brought the item, how about showing me something different now" lol

True. I heard a story where someone bought a new home central air conditioning system and started seeing ads for those. It's unlikely he needs a new one for the next 7 years.

the one thing we will probably ever agree on...

Thing is, that the browsers collect the most searched data by you and then provide you with all the ads pertaining to your most searched thing. Cleaning my browser cache helps me get new ads lol.
