SNCB/NMBS Web Advertisements?

[x***@yahoo.co.uk]

Almost hourly I am getting advertisements promoting the SNCB-NMBS on websites including Google, Yahoo, Youtube. Previously it has been an ad promoting the international travel agent B-Europe and recently it has now changed to a very funky and colourful "This is Belgium" advertisement. I like it.

Admittedly, I do read many websites regarding the Belgian railways - in both French and Dutch. I'm curious to know if this is just a general advertising campaign by SNCB/NMBS or during my searches I have downloaded a web cookie that promotes advertisements based on my past searches?

Is it just me, or everyone?

A good idea is to set your browser to delete all cookies on exit.
(Usually organised in menu items such as "Tools" or "Options", dependent
on which browser you use). I have received advertisements related to
sites I have visited, but deleting cookies each time seems to reduce the
number of adverts. Whilst many cookies can be harmless, they can also
be used maliciously.
