Filipino Cupid

So, I use my work computer to access 247 and when I clicked on the "Wes" topic a banner ad for Filipino Cupid came up. I don't visit such sites at all and especially not on my work computer!
K/W/R, are the ads cookie based or just directly sold to buyers?
Either of those situations begs a question.
1. What site did I visit at work that triggered a Filipino Cupid cookie?
2. What sort of degenerates are on this site!?
Either way I find it hilarious.

It is all about previous sites you visit. I get a lot of backcountry.com ads since I visit outdoor sites on my computer. You looking for an online woman kidding of course. Some sites you go to triggered it. Who knows though. Just enjoy the laugh.

Yeah now it's ESPN. But for that one time it was an Asian dating site. Don't visit anything remotely close to that! They aren't even my type!

I don't know a lot about ads and how they work, but my guess is that it is an ad that is included in the inventory of one of our remnant providers. Either that, or .....

Get an ad blocking plugin for your browser. Until this thread, I literally had no idea this site had ads.
I'll hang up and listen.

Didn't know this existed. Recommendations?

I just searched Ad Blocker for Chrome in Google. Installed in 2 minutes. Crazy easy.
Thanks for the tip Mac.
