p.1 #1 · Where is this coming from?

"Jefferson - This is the real reason you're so unhappy"...implies unhappy sex life by the picture

"Jefferson - Are you 55 or older with joint issues? Read this"...shows picture of knee joint

These are two adds, along with pictures, that would not post, that have shown up lately on AccuWeather.com
The weather I look at there is for Pendergrass, Ga.

This is the only site that I use the name "Jefferson". These appear to be "cookie" derived...I live close to the town Jefferson Ga., but these are aimed at "Jefferson" the individual...

I don't mind cookies aimed at photograpy interests...but this is not...I do not hit on these, but they cause me to be suspicious...just my nature.

I am Not unhappy...I am over 55, but I don't have "joint issues"...I hike the 2.5 miles of Road Atlanta regularly...

One possible clue might Google Chrome that I have used recently for streaming video...and also to view this forum.

I don't want to think Fred or any one related to this site would have a part in this...has anyone here had a similar experence...

Again, I am not making any accusations...just an inquiry.

aka...Jefferson

Facebook Connect, Google +1, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Quantcast and SkimLinks are tracking this page right now. Resistance is useless

Edit: B & H homepage has 5 trackers, DPR has 6 trackers.
You can run but you can`t hide.

I don't like or use Facebook, but I do have a heavy suspicion of Google, not Fred...justly so as it seems

Resistance is not futile...I use this (and other tools) to keep my private information, private (as possible anyway).

p.1 #6 · Where is this coming from?

I`ve been using AdBlock since learning about it on this forum last year and Ghostery for about a month now. I`d also like to know how these trackers and beacons work and why some websites have quite a few and some (but not many) have none.
