The Post Office and its new digital solutions
Faced with progressive digitalization, La Poste is adapting by also offering digital services . Whether you have a simple letter or a registered letter to send, you can also count on La Poste’s services. By opting for La Poste’s services, you can send your mail in three ways.

Online advertising is becoming increasingly targeted and persistent. Tracking technologies like cookies collect information about our browsing activities across sites, and these techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated. A 2012 Pew Research Center survey found that 68 percent of Internet users dislike targeted advertising because they don’t like having their online behavior tracked and analyzed. Your browsing history, like your IP address, can reveal a lot about you.
Summary Why do ads harass me?
Let’s say you buy a blender online. You load a webpage for a blender from Brand X, then close your browser. The next time you open your browser, ads for the blender follow you from site to site. They also show up in some of your mobile apps like Facebook and Instagram. When you visited Brand X’s website, the site stored a cookie on your device that contained a unique identifier. Ad tech companies embedded trackers that also loaded on Brand X’s website, and those trackers looked for your cookie to locate your device.
Trackers can determine whether you want to buy something, even if you don’t complete the purchase. They look for signals, such as whether you closed your browser after searching for blender for a while or left the item in the site’s shopping cart without completing it. Ad tech companies can then track your cookie across these trackers and ad networks on various sites and apps in order to serve you an ad for blender.
What are some simple ways to get around ad harassment?
Here are some simple steps you can take if you are being harassed by an ad and want it to stop:
Clear your cookies regularly. Trackers will have a harder time tracking you if you clear your cookies on each of your devices. Apple, Google, and Microsoft have published instructions on how to clear data for their Safari, Chrome, and Edge browsers.
To protect your online privacy use a
VPN to hide your identity, IP address , and activity from marketers and your internet service provider. Choose a VPN that includes an ad blocker to avoid personalized and intrusive ads and ensure a more secure and private browsing experience.
Reset your advertising ID
In addition to cookies, Android and Apple phones use something called an advertising ID to help marketers track you. You can reset it at any time.
If possible, hide ads. On some online ads, such as those served by Google and Facebook, there is a small button in the upper right corner that you can click to hide the ad.
