Posted 11 January - AM Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but: I often notice that sites with adds seem to know where i am. I receive adds relevant to my location, dynamic adds containing words involving my location and google seems to prioritise search results from sites i visit often. I would like to know how this is achieved and through that how to prevent it.
Edit: Moved topic from Networking to the more appropriate forum. Posted 11 January - AM If the website didn't know where you are, how would it send you the webpage in the first place? It has to have an address to send it to, otherwise the only thing it would know is "someone somewhere wants to see your website". The address to send the webpage to tells the website where you are.
