Is Google Adsense Spying on Me?

I am feeling stalked..... I signed up for some PowerDNN hosting last week and ever since then, most Google Adsense blocks on websites I visit seem to be advertising PowerDNN hosting. It doesn't seem to matter what the subject of the website I am visiting is about .... there it is at the top of the google adsense ads.

So .... did something change and I missed it? Do they now read my cookies and target adverts on that?

      Thanks. I've never noticed it before.... and suddenly there it was, on every page.

    Hi buddy,

    This is what you need:

    Google Advertising Cookie Opt-out Plugin

    I use Firefox as my main web browser, and have the plugin for this myself.

    It works!

    Yes, Google steals your info like it was 1984.
