They say "an ill wind blows no good" and all that. In this case your discomfiture is my comfort, because despite following these kind of links to see what folks are talking about I don't get followed around by those kinds of things, which tells me that all my efforts to avoid exactly this kind of tracking and profiling are at least reasonably effective.

Good to know.  But, I guess if I didn't have an Aliexpress account, this would have not happened as these ads are confined to their flyers which I receive.

Meh. I thought that you started to receive unsolicited spam emails with ads for stuff you have browsed on Ali.
That would be more interesting ;D
