OK we all pick up tracking cookies, delete them, most of them geared to our browsing habits, most of them tracking our shopping habits, or even sites we visited. Ebay motors is one of the worst! If I don't delete tracking cookies on a regular basis, I find ads popping up all over the place including the sites I recently visited, items I browsed on ebay, subjects that interest me even dog food ads....
But how about this? This is weird.
Sometimes I just think of something I might buy, or that I need etc, without actually going looking for it online, and I find ads for that thing coming up on screen at random times. The other day I was strongly thinking about buying my friend some lumberjack shirts (he loves them.) One blue and one red....
I did not look for them online. I thought of buying them from a place in a town nearby.
But when I was online the other night, there were these ads came up -for exactly the shirts I was thinking of!

This same thing has happened so many times with items I've just been thinking of and haven't even checked out online!Weird Like some sci-fi mental tracking cookie phenomenon!

OK I am kind of having some fun and a bit of a laugh with this, but at the same time this stuff has really been happening.
What on earth can it be? Coincidence?

Maybe these ads pops up about things you've searched online. For exemple if you googled blue tshirts, it will store in cookies and then some ads about blue tshirts come in.

Or just law of attraction.. what you think about appears in your life.

Yes, well that's exactly it! What I'm saying is I hadn't actually googled or "ebayed" any of the things I was mentioning, only thought of them! I'm not talking normal, rational tracking-cookie events, just weird stuff.

Yes maybe that's what it's all about. Isn't that interesting? It goes to show.....if we can do that without even trying-what else can we do??
