Content: Stalker Ads
If you are on the internet, you have probably experienced creepily personalized advertisements. Let’s say you’re looking at watches for your wife’s birthday. Now, all of a sudden, watch ads start popping up on your computer, your phone, your social media, and even random websites. Technologies such as web cookies are collecting information about our browsing activities from site to site [2]. Ad companies and marketers analyze these data and target us across all our devices.
