Every webpage I visit I am hounded by this image, I find these sales tactics offensive and the image itself quasi threatening.... Think about it.

Haven't seen this before, where did you find it?

Its planted on EVERY webpage I open Jules, I assume its a cookie deposited on my system while I was seeking further info on an item in the marketplace.

Edit: Oh by the way, I just checked and my Renderosity shopping cart is empty...LOL

I've never seen that ad before, but there are a billion google banner track ads out there. I don't know if Rendo has any, but my first suggestion would be to go to your google settings and check your opt-out option. And then install an ad blocker.

Amazon sends me emails when I have stuff in my basket and don't complete the orders so at least this isn't mail spam . . . yet!

There is no Adblocker for Microsoft Edge yet...I use it with Chrome though..

I get it all the time too. Didn't think of the implications. I actually liked the image ... but then I look for quality over content and become oblivious to some of the subliminal aspects. I can see now how this can be a bit over aggressive. I would have suggested you express your feelings to a moderator directly rather than a thread to avoid a negative atmosphere developing in the thread. I will let our marketing department know how your feel about this.

There's one over at http://www.edgeadblock.com/

Ach, the only way to get that fixed is to stop shopping here.

The ONLY way to get something "fixed" is to let them feel it where it hurts.

these come usually from google trackers Daz is worse , once you log into daz you get these sidebar google adds on almost every page you visit !! so it is not on the sites you visit it is on your machine guess these sites pay google to get these trackers on costumer's Computers.

Advertising isn't exactly new, it's been around for a very long time. If you read a newspaper, it's full of ads, if you read a magazine, it's full of ads, if you drive down the highway, there's ads, and if you visit commercial websites, there's ads. That's how a free commerce systems works. Google has tuned it a bit more efficient. If you don't want to see ads, clear your cache, get a cookie cruncher, get an adblocker; anything. But it's silly to think merchants aren't going to advertise their goods and services, at least if they want to stay in business. I get an art gallery for free to post my art, but someone has to pay for that. So whether you stand on the corner with a sign selling oranges, or advertise on the internet, I'm not going to get bent because someone is trying to make a living. At least on the internet I can use an adblocker. I wish I could adblock that billboard down the street with the cow telling me to eat mor' chicken. I think I'll have pizza tonight, someone left an ad on my doorknob with a coupon.

There's a new browser in town, only in beta I think, called Brave. Blocks most everything by default. I think it's the future as people are just getting fed up with cookies and ads that follow them long after they have already bought the product.

Amazon is notorious for that, asking you if you want to 'buy it again', or suggesting products you looked at for three seconds a month ago.

I really hate it when Amazon "suggests" that I buy a different edition of a book I just bought from them...

As long as it's not fraudulent or insulting to my intelligence I'm OK with advertising. Everything is about money in this world in one way or another. George Carlin had a whole routine against advertising but it's not like he wasn't advertising his own shows.

Firefox= noscript, adblok ghostery, requestpolicy. and now only get things i want to see c

This thread could have gone sideways guys ... It didn't and I thank you. These are honestly helpful hints.

I can't tell if the woman is being threatening or offering a peculiar service with her hands...
