>> I never got used to the emails Amazon sent a day or two after I viewed but didn’t purchase a product. “Hello Ali,” Amazon would say, like we were friends. “Are you looking for something in our Charger & Adaptors store? If so, you might be interested in these items.” That's weird, I've never gotten one of those emails from Amazon, and I look for stuff ALL the time on Amazon without buying. Did I opt-out of this and forgot, or do they only send these out for certain searches? I do get these once in a while from other sites and HATE those emails, but I'm sure I never get them from Amazon.

Same, I can't recall ever receiving something like that.

I get them from amazon, can't really say how often as I don't use Amazon much anymore but when I do actually do a specific and deep search for a type of product but don't purchase anything I'll typically get an e-mail of items similar to those that I was looking at.

  I suppose it's something I opted out, because I don't recall receiving suggestions, but I've seen them on my mother account, and in her case it happens also simply when browsing some products, not only on purchases. Thinking about it, I would guess it happens when she uses the Amazon application on her phone/tablet...

I get 'em constantly. Sure you didn't filter-rule them away years ago and forget about it?

  Nope, just double checked.

    Huh. Wonder what the difference is. Just checked, they seem to hit me with about 1/day, choosing something "relevant" (to what I've been looking at) when possible.

I used to get them all the time, really annoying when you've just bought the (typically non consumable) product from them. Yes Amazon, I'd love to buy a kettle 3 days after I just bought one from you.
