Well, I'm a computer consultant so here's a little free advice! :-)
Use the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which can be downloaded and installed from mozilla.com for free. Go to the "Addons" option in the menus and install the following:
AdBlock Plus
Better Privacy
Flashblock
Ghostery
TACO with Abine
TrackMeNot
These are all free utilities that will go a long way towards cleaning up your web browsing experience. (I also use NoScript to control which sites are permitted to run active content, but that's a little more involved than most people want to deal with since you need to manually assign permission.)
Additionally, if you want cookies deleted automatically after exiting Firefox, go into "Preferences," and select "Privacy." Under "History, "select "Use custom settings" and under "Accept cookies" select "Until I close Firefox."
If you take these steps, even with frequent online purchases you will cut out most targeted advertising.
