Title: Explain to me how Yahoo knows what I do on/with Google.
Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on January 28, 2014, 03:50:43 AM
This is now showing up in my Yahoo email right sidebar where the ads are placed: http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Seattle-I-Bleed-Blue-Green-Cotton-Tee/6172592/product.html?TRACK=DSPTA&cid=218740

The ONLY thing I use Yahoo for is for some email accounts.

Cookies? They share data? The feds own both of them? Aliens?

As you can see, it's clear that I have no idea.

I think we all know exactly what you do on/with Google.

Yahoo! doesn't really know what you're doing, but they are in Google Adsense ad network and with the interest based advertising within this network you'll see ads based on your web surfing habits.
