Logged out view of EP ... constant sexual & dating adverts.

Discussion in 'About EntropiaPlanets' started by Viperstrike, Aug 27, 2012.

  1. Hi Admin,

    Something that is getting a bit annoying is these singles sexual meetup adverts and dating agencies. I know your using cookies, but why are they popping up for me ?

    I don't visit such sites and have not visited sites like them.

    I notice other adverts which are fine, most of which is based on forum content I have posted, like surveying, mining, retirement, cloud computing, sql databases etc.

    Would this have something to do with the recent spam attacks on AWF ?

    They have only been popping up since my last few visits there in the recent month.

    Anyway, is there a way to content filter them or the like ?

    Cheers,
    Viper

  4. I am sure spawn made a thread about this very thing before.
     
  5. Ah I missed that thread, it has just started for me in the last few weeks since going to another forum which had suffered several spam attacks at the time.

    We don't use anything other than standard google-adsense, so i cannot think of why it would serve these kind of ads for you. If there's particular advertisers you'd rather not see, I can remove those, but I'm not convinced I can pick exactly what type of ads are shown.

    Sorry.
     
  7. Hey, I ran the norton 360 full scan and it deleted a who bunch of tracking cookies. No viruses or trojans found, however found 37 tracking cookies.

    Seems ok now, well last 2 visit have been about mining industry jobs :)

  9. I hope that is not personal data I just posted /sigh, not sure what I am looking at tbh.
     
  10. Ok - Found the cookie info, this is my cookie's profile.
    I see nothing about sex/dating in it, so why does it serve it ?

    BTW, I never setup these categories, it has done that automatically.

    PS. The last 2 logouts gave me married woman and a swinger ads.
     
  11. swinger ad have not seen that one.:smile:
     
  12. Each new thread I go into while logged out, eg, latest news on arkdia treasure hunting. It pops up with a new set of ads, still mainly sexual based content.

    Sorry I can't figure this out. I will just put up with it for now.

    PS. Is it possible to make a complaint to google about it ?
    Do you want me to take screenshots ot pass to google ?
     
  13. Maybe its demographically based on some sort of viewing statistic ?

  14. I can do this all night, but I think you get the point. I checked my cookie profile again, nothing in there about such advertisements being taken out.

    I actually learnt today I can block some ads. I went and reviewed what was shown on our AdSense, three of them were dating related. I blocked those. Not sure if it will do anything, cause none of the ads you highlighted were in there, but let's wait and see :)
