innapropriate websites showing up on my Website data on my Ipad!

Website data results not only from site you have directly visited, but from calls those sites make to other sites (such as advertizing). So yes it is possible that data can show up in the Settings and you have never visited those specific sites directly.

Thanks James, but how do you know this? are you a computer professional? Just want to know how much I can rely on this info. I really appreciate you answering my question though. It is causing **** with my wife because some guy from the Geek Squad at Best Buy told her the only way it can be on there is if I actually visited the sites! I know thats not the case.

I have been in the industry for over twenty years, doing everything from design to 2nd/3rd tier support, mostly on websites and web based enterprise applications. The kid at Best buy makes barely over minimum wage and follows a script to install windows and anti virus software, and is currently just grateful he doesn't have to wear the stupid ties anymore. What do you think?

I can't give anything to prove you didn't visit those site, just plausible deniability 😉. But yes, the data doesn't necessarily mean you actually visited them directly. Just consider what is does mean about the sites you have been on, however.

I Am having a simalar problem if the sites have 1.4kb of data as opposed to 0.4 does this mean some are ads and the larger numbers are used sites?

Thanks
