    It's a particularly ugly breed of dog I believe.

    Probably.

    I tightened up my privacy controls when I started getting ads for data centre kit when following links from here to the Sun and Daily Wail.

    Or even the sports pages in my local press.

  • Am I being paranoid or are Google getting omnipresent?

    I know Google advertising works with keyword searches, so I am quite often presented with ad's in my gmail account based on the contents of the emails I send and receive, however today I got an ad about engagement rings, this I have never emailed about, however I did get a text on my Android phone yesterday about someone saying they are getting their's valued.

    Am I putting two and two together erroneously? Or are Google now reading my texts for advertising?

Working...
