Question

Pop-up ads, those unsolicited messages that sometimes pop onto your computer screen and block the site or information you're looking for until you close or respond to them, are inexpensive to product and cost nearly nothing to send. But they are so annoying to some computer users that dozens of special programs have been written to block them from appearing on the screen during Internet use. Do you think that because they are unsolicited, pop-up ads are intrusive? Are they an invasion of privacy or just savvy marketing? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

There are two types of pop-ups that usually come on the screen and hide the information; firstly some of them are of the website itself i.e. website which the user is surfing at this moment has coded at the backend that such a pop-up would appear and hence we cannot do anything for stopping them as it is a feature of the website itself and is not from any external source and hence they cannot be intrusive. Secondly the pop-ups that appear are of remarketing i.e. the product that were searching some minutes before would appear again on another side as a banner so that you can rethink of buying that product and hence it also cannot be termed as intrusive. Lastly all the pop-ups and banner has a cross button which can be used to hide the banner which means that the control has been given to the user to hide and continue working as well.
