I notice now that if I have items in my cart, imbedded ads with reminders to check out appear on unrelated web pages, such as Yahoo.
This is intrusive, and more than a little creepy. I have been shopping with Renderosity for many years, but this has gone way too far!

AdBlock and NoScript (if you use Firefox). If you use Chrome I know there's an AdBlock plugin for it, but Chrome itself is rather creepy (unless you don't log into Google). Welcome to the future, where creepiness is part of everyday life (your cell phone tracks everything you do anyway). You're likely being tracked thru Google - ever notice how a Google search will put "personalized" ads on unrelated websites of things you recently searched for? Personally, I use Duck Duck Go and only sign into Google when I have to. Otherwise, I'm signed out. Even that ain't a guarantee ;).

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds these "reminders" creepy...
