    Web tracking ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    Web tracking. Google, eBay, Amazon, etc. makes me bum out!
    I looked on google and eBay in "private browsing mode" for Breast Forms and now they've been showing up a recently viewed items "Really sucks" no privacy! browsing!
    If my wife sees it all hell will break loose! GDB they suck!
    "This is ME" I am not CRAZY, I'm just a GUY who likes dresses!
    Since allot of men dress up in woman's clothing that makes it a manly thing to do!
    Much more fun than fishing.
    I do construction like house building and I love CD-ing, what's the difference?

    What browser are you using? I use Firefox, private window and have all the tracking stuff turned off. Seems to work pretty well.

    I recommend a good ad blocker like Adblock plus

    Or better yet if you are into computers and such setup a Pi-Hole

    I don't see a technical help forum

    The bottom of the homepage is the Places to Go, Places to Meet and Upcoming Events forums.

    I see nothing after that.

    Go into your browser setting and delete cookies. It will clear your browsing history.

    Surely, clearing the browsing history will only create suspicion from the wife, who will question what you are hiding.
    Rachel,

    As a crossdresser my personality has several facets. Therefore, I suppose I can be forgiven for being facetious.

    Let me elaborate, deleting cookies will not “clear” the browsing history per se, but they are the things which “remember” what you have searched for etc.

    It won’t be suspicious as your website history is still there.

    Clearing your history and cache are simply good computer techniques for maintaining performance. If the wife is that computer savvy that she would be suspicious then she should understand the importance of keeping the computer clean and safe.

    I am telling you all ad blockers is the key here from the start.

    Since ads are blocked so are all the cookies and tracking that come with them.

    Plus it draws no suspicion because you can say you are just tryng to block those annoying banner ads and pop-ups .

    Plus you can hide things like the nice but large Crossdressers dot com logo at the top if these pages, that comes in handy if you are in a DADT or still in stealth mode.

    My wife isn't computer savvy but it is not an issue for me as she is OK about my crossdressing and related purchases, so long as she doesn't have to go without her treats.

    One thing I don't see mentioned here is a "canvas" blocker. Most browsers have the ability to install one.

    The one l hate is eBay watch list reminders.

    Opening your inbox and seeing an email titled “Are 42D Realistc Silicone Breast Forms still of interest?” is pretty terrifying.
    When haters hate, I celebrate!

    I'm in network security. I have not seen this mentioned yet.

    If you have Adobe Flash installed on your computer, Adobe caches LSO's (local shared objects) on your computer when using their product. These "super cookies" are persistent and not stored in your browser. In Windows 10, control panel -> Flash Player -> There are a couple of options under storage and advanced tabs, to fine tune the cache or block.
    Search "adobe LSO cookies" for more information.

    If you don't want certain things to show up on your "recently viewed" list, view some other stuff. Candy and cleaning supplies work.

    There are a couple of things you can do. switch over to the EPIC browser. or get a vpn subscription. The nice thing about EPIC it is free and easy to install. you don't get ads because they don't know who you are.

    My wife knows about my dressing and all my clothes, but I use it when doing comparison shopping. Or going to sites I don't want their spam.

    Clearing browser history probably won't make a difference, as private browsing won't have added to page history or cookies. It sounds like a known problem with eBay where there is no way to clear the recommendations their algorithms come up with, unlike Amazon. You'll find many complaints on the eBay member forums about this. I run a separate eBay account for Rachel's browsing, though I occasionally forget. My main account is still showing recommendations for womens dresses even now. Browsing and viewing lots of other types of item does clear this eventually in my experience.

    Rachel is right. Open seperate accounts for your 'hidden' browsing (Ebay and Amazon etc) and always browse in private mode. No need to delete anything. Problem solved. Simple.

    Rachel and Daisy, and, probably other who I have not read, are right. Browser history can be addressed. I think Judy is plagued with eBay, Amazon and others storing information on your viewing habits. I see it all the time, including today. There it is on eBay....a line of pictures of things I had viewed. Of course, my email in box also gets "thoughtful" reminders from eBay, Macy's, JC Penny and the list goes on. This xxx is ending soon. This xxx is still on sale. If you're using a shared account "your dead." My wife does not buy much on line when it comes to clothing. Thank the goddesses! If she were to go to our Macy's account she'd see a lot of panty purchases. Love Macy's sales! The only way to avoid confrontations with a totally non accepting wife is to have separate profiles on eBay. When it comes to actually buying things and wanting total privacy the only thing I can see is buying gift cards for eBay, Macy's, JC Penny, et al in amounts greater than the intended purpose. Then all one has to do is race to the mailbox before a wife or maintain a private mail box. Of course, you can have the garments from Macy's or JC Penny delivered to the local store.

    Oh, the skills one has to develop to work around the land mines a non accepting wife will lay down!

    I solved all of the ad stuff by clicking on the little ad choice icon at the corner of the pop up ad and follow instructions as to what you wanted - do you want it to track your viewing interest or random stuff, it took a little experimenting but now only random ads appear and none of the stuff I have been looking at; also go on you tube - lots of pertinent information as to your settings...……………………...Debra

    Re-reading the OP it sounds as if your problem might be the grid of recently opened pages that appear when you open a new tab. You should be able to configure your browser to open a specific page instead of this, but if and how would depend on the browser. Otherwise plenty of non-CD browsing might move the offending site off the list

    And invest in a VPN.
