How did Nissan get my contact information?

[larry1076]

For a few weeks or so I was actively searching and researching online Jeeps and 4x4 vehicles and pickup trucks Etc videos, price information, etc.

Then a short while later I get in the mail a massive brochure inviting me to a Nissan Titan event where you could see the vehicle, enter a sweepstakes...

Is this a coincidence? I've never before received in the mail an advertisement for a vehicle

You mean world wide web. It's the price to pay for using it.

Really? I didn't know they do that.

It's called 'tracking'. Google and other sites track your every move and click. So if you click on men's shoes somewhere then you get targeted ads about men's shoes. I found that using no-scrip add-on for Firefox stops that invasive adware stuff. Haven't found any similar no-scrip add-on for Android browsers.

It's not Google. Google does not sell your personal information... Like you're address, email, etc... The only sell access to you as a advertising target and the advertisers never catch wind of who you are.
