I’m fairly certain I got roped into this while in the UK earlier this year. I was visiting my mother and using my iPad in the living room - an ad came on for a furniture retailer that we both remarked on because of the memorable name. Over the next week I was bombarded by Google ads for this same retailer even though I was not logged into Google, nor had I searched for anything remotely related to oak furniture in the UK.
It could be a coincidence, but these days when it comes to advertising practices I tend to favor the shadiest explanation.
