Knotical i dont like the fact if i look at carpet at Lowes the Lowes ads are on my email

Wait, you are getting email notifications of ads relevant to your search history, or the suggested ads are showing up as banners on websites? If it is through your email do you have gmail, or are you using something else?

Reba: Just surf in private mode, no matter what OS you use. The ads are because of your cookies which private mode does not keep. Also, you can set your cookies to delete every time you close your browser, so that these electronic spies only see so much. Simple as that.

You’ve gone incognito
Pages you view in incognito tabs won’t stick around in your browser’s history, cookie store, or search history after you’ve closed all of your incognito tabs. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept.

However, you aren’t invisible. Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit.

when you go to startpage there is a button that says make home page; have you done this?
