Compromising our information

I search for a product on eCommerce website on my mobile. I come home open my email on my computer and I see ads of the product I was searching on the eCommerce site I had searched.

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

Nothing is free. Your free E Mail comes at the cost of bombarding you with Ads, more focused as per their perception of what you are looking for. more

Mam i believe its now fault of google. GOOGLE has feature which tracks your searches and fill with ads for that product whichever has google account linked. You need to go to setting and make trackimg off or do not link google account.
Try log out in chrome from computer and delete all cookies and search and ot will be ads free more  
Government restriction of ecommerce sites is essential to protect the interest of the consumers. more
