It was pretty interesting. I noticed too now that after I posted a link to mytheresa.com that now an ad pops up for me from that store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203971 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:46:29 +0000 Sparky 203971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda like it. Love having a parade of boots in beautiful shapes and colors marching up and down the sides of whatever web page I'm on. My kind of eye candy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203957 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:12:44 +0000 Maya 203957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an ad blocker at home so nothing follows me. I love it. Of course I am shooting myself in the foot here since this is what I do for a living... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203955 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:08:26 +0000 tarzy 203955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RoseandJoan - too funny. Does that mean if I look up a recipe for fettuccine Alfredo I'll be stalked by creamy cheesy pasta! Yum ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203907 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:12:07 +0000 Traci 203907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it especially annoying at work. Do I really need a giant banner across the top of my screen broadcasting to everyone that I've been shopping at LOFT when I'm bored? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203902 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:08:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 203902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think turning off cookies may also eliminate the ones you really want i.e. the ones that remember your passwords and remember which pages you have already viewed. It's usually a google ad which flags the things I have been looking at, it's rather fun when Ben has been on the computer and my shoes are switched for alloy bike pedals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203899 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:03:11 +0000 bj1111 203899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>there's a great article in the wsj on precisely how this happens technologically, very interesting(sorry can't find the link at this moment). the author was haunted by a pair of shoes after she put it in her cart as a wish. she wound up buying them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203895 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:00:14 +0000 Anonymous 203895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes that happens to me too. It is not helpful. You can clean out your cookies and the things that you have recently linked to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203879 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:31:04 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 203879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure someone with more tech expertise will tell you are, but I am sure that you can clear your computer of cookies, so no more stalking boots.</p> <p>Otherwise, perhaps link to something you would never want to buy? But that may just lead to more torment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203866 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:15:59 +0000 Cookie 203866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - this is happening to me too. And, like Queenie, I have only noticed it over the past two weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203853 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:05:25 +0000 Queen Mum 203853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have actually just noticed it in the past few weeks or so. I wonder if this is something new. (not that cookies are new.. I know that... but I hadn't noticed the adds for the specific things I had already looked at) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203847 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:01:26 +0000 Lana 203847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this definitely happens to me! It seems to be happening more lately, which really isn't helpful since I'm trying to refrain from buying much. But things I love are shoved in my face at every website I visit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203844 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:56:52 +0000 marianna 203844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes.

I have noticed the same thing. Big brother is creeping me out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-the-melissa-button-boots-following-me#post-203774 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:03:18 +0000 Laura 203774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just linked to the Melissas for Anne and now they are following me everywhere I go online! This is NOT helpful for SYC efforts!</p> <p>Has anyone else noticed that after you click on an item at Zappos or some other retailer, that the item pops up on all sorts of ads on all sorts of other websites afterwards? </p>
