Targeted advertising
I know they can target you for what youve searched.... but do 'they' know what youve been singing on the turf

Re: Targeted advertising
Over the last 3 weeks we have had it where me the wife or the kids were targeted with ads relating to exactly something we had just spoke about (within 24/48hrs) .... the only explanation is that we have Google Home but one of the ads was on Facebook! .... There is no hiding place!

Re: Targeted advertising
I think when you download apps and choose to accept that they use your details or whatever it also mentions microphone or something like that. The amount of times i have talked with my wife about something and the next day if not that days i am bombarded on apps with ads for that thing we chatted about is unreal

Re: Targeted advertising
I've just bought a Windows 10 PC and the setting up involves about ten steps where I must decide about my interaction with ads and other stuff.
I suspect Windows 10 is even more geared up for commercial exploitation then ever.
