Now this may seem minor and insignificant, however, 42301 is the zipcode I use for signing up to online accounts that require a US zipcode, when I'm looking for access. 42301 is Owensboro Kentucky's zipcode. I remember only days ago using this zipcode, and now I cannot remember where exactly, I roam the internet like a wild goat (Though I am actively tracking back to find out where I last used this zip). Anyhow I find this to be more than just a coincidence. Whereever it was that I used this zip (and I do intend on tracking it down) has somehow affected the way AFF geotargetted ads are displayed on my laptop. I doubled checked on my desktop to see if things wer ein order there and indeed they were. So what the fuck is going on? i thought geotargetted ads worked off your IP? This appears to have been executed with an embeddable cookie. Any ideas GFY?
When you fill in those forms depending on your settings that stuff is saved. AutoComplete, etc..

Fucking badass if they have started using a method that digs up that info.

Smart as hell.
