Facebook likes on alcohol brands
 
I've been slowing unlikeing all my likes to alcohol brands when I was a drinker. Now that I've (or trying to) someone seen one or two of those brand pop up on my feed. Did anyone else have this happen to you?

For someone I liked a lot of alcohol brands.

I really didn't like any alcohol brands on facebook but it does drive me CRAZY when all the alcohol brands are advertised all over the place. lol

facebook or most of the things in the internet where you log yourself into can capture your "likes"...say you like a band of beer or wine the first time, it is programmed to put more info or "adverts" on your page similar to the product that your first "liked"...if you put avid football fan as your hobby...then it will send you more info about football..et al...if your friends "liked" alcohol then it will show on your feed as well...so basically what you info you feed your facebook page will send you things that are likely similar...you may want to "unllike" them so it doesnt show on your feed anymore, but then again it will show on the right hand side of your page if your friends keep "liking" them still.

There is a program that you can download for your browser(s) that really works
great!!!!!! It is free.

I have it on the 3 browsers I use, IE, Google, and Mozilla Firefox:

Do Not Track Plus

I only installed it 2 weeks ago and to date, just on Firefox it has blocked
4,866 tracking attempts and feeds to me, lol

A tech friend told me about it, and as he is someone I trust, also said it
was very SAFE.

Hope this can help you and others!!!!

Love and hugs,
