Bear in mind I normally use ad-blocker and don't get any ads.
Logged into gmail yesterday with ad-blocker disabled and noticed a blue line advert at the top of my gmail inbox. Clicked the little box saying 'why this ad?' which told me it was based on emails in my inbox...except it isn't, I only ever use gmail for some work I do, and the emails are all about that and the advert was for a local plumber (I actually know him slightly). I have looked at his site in the last year. Why are they claiming one thing when it appears to be my past history. And a past history when I didn't have a gmail address.
