Your email via your log in is being used to track what you do by eCommerce sites and then they share what you are doing with the email service provider to push you their ad.
I never gave the eCommerce site the right to track me like this and to share what I am doing with my email provider. more

This is not tracking by the email service provider. Every ecommerce and other sites use what are known as "cookies". these cookies track your search on specific sites and they are then later displayed as advertisements when you open other sites. If you disable cookies permanently, you will not have this problem. But then you will not be able to save logins and auto fills from previous site visits. Small problem to solve a bigger issue. Disable cookies and see what happens. This is part of your browser settings. more
