    I don't know, but FB is--I googled a 5-string bass guitar, then FB started filling my page with adds for bass guitars.

    The more people are looking into it, the more they're finding google et al are tracking internet searches to provide info for advertisers to target people.

    It's not just EP, the entire internet does this. You are constantly being tracked so they can target advertising towards you.

    To be fair, it's probably not EP that is doing it, it's Google. The guys at EP have probably have a google adsense account, place the google ads on their site and google controls the rest.

    Thank you to EP Support Volunteer Paschar for showing us how to switch it off.
