I’ve seen this happen with flights. Depending on where I set my VPN, the prices will change.

It is in many places with consumer protections.

I’ve seen this happen with flights in a different way - I repeatedly check the same flights over and over and have noticed the price going up across multiple views even on the same day.

I used to clear my cache, and that would help, bet it hasn’t changed anything the last time, so I guess they figured out that workaround.

Try using a different browser. Try canvas blocker/fingerprint blocker plugins. Try deleting history, cache, cookies,and site settings. Try ublock origin to block 3rd party scripts and frames.

I tried that, and it didn’t seem to make a difference. My guess is they count the searches and use that data, or my number of privacy tools has made my fingerprint more unique ky the lack of trackers.
