makes it a bit tricky to compare side by side, next you will say to install multiple VM's !!

Don't be silly. Just open two instances of the browser using different profiles. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Is it true that the more times you visit a web site to check holiday or flight prices, the prices go up each time as you are clearly more interested, hence you returning to the page?

No - That's ridiculous

So you log out of windows leaving the website live, then log into another profile to look at site again.

Can't put them side by side as you would have to log out and in again,

If so, how do i clear my cookies, or prevent the price from rising with every visit? Am looking to book flights and they're gone up from £450 to £560 within the space of about 3 days??

Any advice please?

Just to be clear, it definitely happens, been covered on R4 and even admitted and defended by companies.

No. I use the two profiles side-by-side. Why would you log of one profile before using the other? :rotfl:

I just use the 'clear history' from within chrome - chrome://history/

If you're paranoid about it, how about visiting the site in an 'incognito tab' (Chrome) or a 'private window' (firefox) - there will be no cookies or tracking in these special modes.

No cookies, but your IP will most likely be the same..
