Thanks AK much appreciated.
If anyone is aware of the technology that allows this to happen, my follow up question is how does one protect against this ?

Best Baja Wishes all, Lori



My brain is the wrong one to pick if you are looking for cyber-info, but when the Baja Gold pitch showed up in my "inbox", I reported it as "junk".

I have received a couple of additional e-mails, but they go directly to the junk box, which I can live with.




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

If you use Google Chrome as your browser or Google as your search engine, there is usually a gmail address associated with it. If you search for something that can be sold to you, you can expect targeted ads either in the form of gmail banners or unsolicited email. Ain't technology grand? :rolleyes:

I use Microsoft "Edge" for my browser. I did a Craig's List search in the heavy equipment section for an attachment for my excavator. Son of a gun....I got banner ads on this site!

I apologize for my part in hijacking this thread.

As it happens, Microsoft Edge is "Chromium" under the hood, an open source browser developed and maintained by... (drumroll) Google.

pauldavid - thank you for adding to this query! I do not have a gmail address .. I have a business-related reason for wanting to understand the technology of this - it is not so that I/we can utilize it either.

If anyone around here is tech-savvy and can explain I would greatly appreciate this! Lori
