This acquisition will allow Ziff Davis websites, such as PCMag.com, to provide its audience with the up-to-the-minute deals and coupons on the products they’re researching. At the same time, LogicBuy.com will tap Ziff Davis’ long-running relationships with tech manufacturers and retailers which could lead to bigger and better deals on the site.

“Between our owned-and-operated websites and our recently launched ad targeting platform, BuyerBase™, Ziff Davis reaches over 40 million tech buyers per month,” said Vivek Shah, CEO of Ziff Davis. “LogicBuy.com gives us the ability to introduce the best deals and coupons to those shoppers and further pursue our mission of informing and influencing tech buyers.”

LogicBuy.com was formed in 2007 and was created to present buyers with the best opportunities to save money. LogicBuy.com allows shoppers to find, share and rate every deal and coupon.

“We have saved consumers tens of millions of dollars since our founding,” said Thai Than, founder of LogicBuy.com. “By joining Ziff Davis, we will be able to reach even more buyers with the best possible deals and coupons in technology and consumer electronics.”

Ziff Davis, Inc. is a major player in the digital media world, reaching over 40 million visitors each month. Its properties include PCMag.com, ExtremeTech, GearLog and AppScout. Ziff Davis also operates BuyerBase, an ad targeting platform.

How to deactivate your Instagram account (or delete it)

A person holding a phone with the Instagram app open on it.

Oh, social media. Sometimes it’s just too much, folks.

If you’re finding yourself in a position where shutting down your Instagram account for a period of time sounds good, the people at Meta have made it pretty simple to deactivate it. It’s also quite easy to completely delete your Instagram, although we wouldn’t recommend this latter option if you plan on returning to the platform at a later date.

Incogni: Recover your privacy and remove personal information from the internet

Incogni remove your personal data from brokers and more

Everything you do while online is tracked digitally. Often connected to your email address or an issued IP, trackers can easily identify financial details, sensitive information like your social security number, demographics, contact details, like a phone number or address, and much more. In many ways, this information is tied to a digital profile and then collated, recorded, and shared via data brokers. There are many ways this information can be scooped up and just as many ways, this information can be shared and connected back to you and your family. The unfortunate reality is that, for most of us, we no longer have any true privacy.

The problem is exacerbated even more if you regularly use social media, share content or images online, or engage in discussions on places like Reddit or community boards. It's also scary to think about because even though we know this information is being collected, we don't necessarily know how much is available, who has it, or even what that digital profile looks like.
