If you click on a Google Ad, does google remember and post similar ads?
A few weeks ago I clicked on the "Belly Fat" google ad. Now it seems like every site I go to has the damn "Belly Fat" ad on it. Is it because I clicked on it or is that ad all over the internets?

Just wondering.

4. It does show similar ads.
It probably sets a cookie on your browser which Google checks whenever you visit a Google-owned site. If you want to get rid of it, you'll have to clear out your cache, your cookies and probably your browsing history too. Otherwise you're stuck with it, unless you adblock it somehow.

That's why I'm asking because the ads on DU reappeared.

Edit to add: :hi:
