Possible Targetted Advertising?

Has anyone else noticed the proliferation of non touring advertising that is popping up on the right hand of the forum page screen? Seems to have happened in last few days. I am seeing all sorts, from dodgy Chinese owned budget websites, to rather distressing animal welfare charity photos.🤔

As far as I am aware, I haven’t altered any of my preference settings for this website, so not sure what is happening.

I doubt that it's anything to do with the CAMC system; much more likely to be a recent change in Google.  Check your google privacy settings and/or use an ad blocker.

Surely that can't be right, can it? 

I am not even remotely an expert but, surely the web site must provide, or at least not prevent, for these ads to appear - in some way.

I do not see these ads if I look at, for example, my bank's web site, or my solicitor's or my friend's accountants' web site, nor, even, my local car tyre outlet. Nor Sainsbury's web site.

None of those have any ads for other products.

Not an everyday purchasewink It seems the two places where for a long time there were Volvo adverts, not sure if it was a Club offer, have now been taken over by random Google Ads. I have reported this but as yet nothing has changed.

DK...They certainly are Random Ads....Not interested in working for BAE security/defence systems but had a very good offer for a mobility scooter which I shall 'bank' for future reference...

Aside, My take on this would be that the club has used the Google partner ad tech. As mentioned elsewhere, the clubs income has to fund some expensive directors salaries so this would certainly help in that.. See Link below
