One shop that I noticed was doing this is csv-direct.de. First visit a product page, e. g.:

https://www.csv-direct.de/artinfo.php?artnr=AGX1428619&KATEG... (758,93€)

then look at the geizhals price:

https://geizhals.de/ubiquiti-unifiswitch-enterprise-24-rackm... (748,09€)

After you have visited the page from geizhals, the lower price will stay even on direct links, for that product only (until you clear local data/cookies).

That's interesting and you're right. Never happend upon this behavior until now.

Incidentally, i've bought RAM from CSV-direct sometime last year, after getting an alert from Geizhals... not sure if i clicked through with the link from the email, the price however did match...

Haha, actually the reason I noticed was because I was shopping for RAM at the beginning of this year. The product above was just my first random thought, it seems to be very regular there.

FWIW, it's enough to just set the parameter &pva=geizhals2 in the GET request for the product page once. Could be fun to see how regular it is.
