eCommerce websites are smarter than you think.



They store cookies on your device ostensibly to help with shopping, but in reality, to optimize the shopping experience.

On the basis of collective experience, they also increase the price of the material of greater interest and then display the item of interest in front of you by offering a discount, which is not even a discount.

You have to pay more to meet your needs. So don't fall prey to marketing gimmicks, always clear your device's cookies, and buy like a new user every time.

Never knew this but you are right as when we search for a thing on web they keep sending us its suggestions

This is something useful that I had never thought of before.
Therefore, since I use Google-Chrome as my default browser, before making any online purchase, I should delete browsing data such as: browsing history - cookies and other site data - cached files.
Did I say it right?
Thanks for your advice .

I should delete browsing data such as: browsing history - cookies and other site data - cached files.
Did I say it right?

Yes, and if possible, do not accept cookies while shopping online.

There's only one little problem with doing it that way. That is, by deleting the cookies I am logged out of every website that has memorized my username and password. Then consequentially I have to re-authenticate for each of them.
Luckily I wrote in a notebook, the credentials of each site to which I am registered.

I've read about this, and indeed when I prove there will be some difference in hotel prices (which I tried at that time). However, can this be done simply by using the incognito browser? or still cookies must be deleted first?

[bismillahdehoke]

Does this also apply on travel platforms or just for ecommerce?
In e-commerce, I've read about it but haven't really implemented it because when i want to shop, i always shop right away without remembering to delete cookies.

[jumanhood]

I do it every time i need to do some online shopping and sometimes i manage to get a big price difference but sometimes i don't get much differences, still it's a trick worth trying for more savings

[augusta]

This is a new one didn't know about this, will start doing this to enjoy this experience and save money in the process.

i was not aware of it.. thanks for sharing

You mean the private window?
Yes that window do not save any history or cookie etc, once closed, its deleted

To keep device clean, it is important to keep deleting them.
Use private window if you are unsure

I should do this very soon, as I have to buy a new mobile phone on Amazon, using my Italian Postpay prepaid card, exactly like the one you can see here.

[Treborika]

It's a very useful advice in deed. I personally had experienced this but didn't know how to go about it.

Clean your cookies - Simple.

Well, personally they might try to identify you, but without cookies, it will be difficult.

[harimuktisob]

I am always using an incognito tab to do online shopping and some of travelling provider site like expedia and hotels.com and it can also keep you a little bit from the trackers out there

[darkuszerx]

Did this everytime i will go online shopping and i get so many differences when i did clear my cookies before the online shopping activity and it is so great because we can earn some price differences

[usailahsudahh]

I have no idea if this method is legit but i am always using this method when i do an online shopping or booking a hotel for staycation
