Facebook uses cookies to track everything you do there. They use this data to be able to target ads to you. My profile says I like horses so I get a lot of ads about buying horses or sales on riding boots. It also says I'm single, so I get a lot of dating service ads, usually non discriminatory or Jewish although I get my fair share of christian dating site ads as well, even though it says I'm Jewish. I'm a fan of 3elove so I constantly get there ads too (FYI I want a kelly green hoodie size M if anyone wants to buy me one).
All that I understand. I get. What I don't get is that I just got an ad that I may be eligible to participate in a research study testing the efficacy of investigational pain meds after bunion surgery. Seriously, how do they know I need 2 bunion surgeries in the somewhat distant future (it seems)??? I don't think I've ever mentioned that on facebook or this blog... Creep anyone else out?
