He likely didn’t anticipate it, but the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation handle responded, explaining its use of Google’s ad serving tool. According to the tweet, these ads employ cookies to tailor content based on a user’s history and browsing habits. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation handle went on to advise him to proactively eliminate all browser cookies and history as a preventive measure against such advertisements. It wrote,

“Irctc uses Googles ad serving tool ADX for serving ads. These ads uses cookies to target the user. Based on user history and browsing  behaviour ads are shown. Pl clean and delete all browser cookies and history to avoid such ads.”

It triggered a series of tweets where users mocked the man and labeled IRCTC’s response as “savage.” Here are some reactions to the tweet.

In a delightful twist, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s witty response not only addressed the user’s complaint but also sparked a wave of online amusement. As Twitterati joined the banter, labeling the exchange “savage,” it showcased a refreshing blend of humor from an unexpected source—the official railway service.
