How odd! (Assuming you aren't in prison OP) Grin

PanPanPanPing · 04/03/2018 06:52

That's an AdChoice ad, you can tell by the little blue arrow at the top right hand corner. Have you been Googling anything to do with prisons? Grin

CircleofWillis · 04/03/2018 07:53

Yes as Pan says that type of ad uses cookies from your search engine so is chosen as they think it reflects your current interests.

Look at this one that I've got at the moment. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice chap, but I've got no idea why I'm being targeted by a Saudi Crown Prince Grin

How weird it goes by what you're googling. I had one for a boarding school nowhere near me. Considering I don't have kids and am pretty broke, I haven't googled anything like it!

hugoagogo · 04/03/2018 10:27

I have been mostly googling backpacks Confused
Could it be links I've clicked on from feminism chat do you think?

Is it generated by your MN history? There's a thread on here about OPs partner being sent to prison. Did you read it?

I've got ads for an ivf clinic. I'm 50 and menopausal. I don't go on the TTC threads.

hugoagogo · 04/03/2018 17:41

Hi everyone

Not ignoring you here, it's just that unfortunately I am clueless as to how these AdChoice ads work. PanPanPanPing sounds pretty on the money, although we can see that for some of you this still doesn't quite add up. I'll flag this all over to someone with more nous than I so they can update you on how it all works.

If you are getting ads through that are offensive, eyebrow raising, or otherwise disconcerting, then do get straight back in touch. Wine

PinkBuffalo · 04/03/2018 19:08

Hi Caroline
Im not finding them offensive. Just musing as to the adverts Grin

SophieLMumsnet · 05/03/2018 17:42

Ah, yes - as circleofwills and pan said - this is ad choices, so it's based on Google! If you've got any worries at all, please do report to us or drop us a line at [email protected] Flowers

hugoagogo · 05/03/2018 18:34

Ok, I suppose it can go wonky like anything else.
That Saudi Crown Prince one made it all worth it. Grin

hugoagogo · 06/03/2018 07:31
