I don’t use any social media or shopping apps. I went to the store yesterday and bought a particular item. Today I see ads for that item when I’ve never seen ads for that item before. how exactly my phone is letting advertisers know what I bought?

I’m glad you brought this up. I had a crazy one happen yesterday. I’m in the market for a new coffee table, so I have looked at a few online. Nothing other than coffee tables, but definitely furniture shopping. We drove to Ashely Furniture yesterday to look at some we liked. I also happened to see this enormous chaise lounge that I had to try out. I sat on it for a few minutes and joked to my wife about buying one of those instead. We left the store and that was the end of it. I did not further research and left the chair in the store.
Today, my facebook is being inundated with ads for that exact fucking chair I was sitting in. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times today.
