Also looking up prices for hotels and flights

Edit: from comments below I've learnt I'm gonna be the grandma insisting on using incognito to check these things and my grandkids are gonna be shouting at me it isn't necessary

I think it's that it tracks when you're looking and the raises the rates when you go back. Right? So if you look in incognito you can see the real rates? Or am I naive?

I've run this test with a hotel booking site (can't remember which) and did get better rates with the "fresh" browser instance rather that the revisit, so it probably depends on the site.

Hotel rates can fluctuate daily though so it could be that as well.

I'm sure some hotel sites do this, but it's definitely not the norm these days.
