I often buy online for convenience from a main supplier and then whenever I'm on the net I get ads for the same type of item I have already bought, for instance I purchased a recliner for dh and since then I get ads constantly for recliners,there's only so many recliners I can fit in my tiny front room, and I have one now,

I think the algorithms just follow your search and it doesn’t actually register that it has been purchased as that part cannot be followed.

Get an Ad blocker.

Yup, adblockers are the way ahead.

Check the bottom for unsubscribe. I know it's a pain but usually works for me.
