contextual advertising

Epic18, 2017-07-12 21:33:10

There was a conversation about a vacuum cleaner , so I go to the post office and there in the column on the left is an advertisement for vacuum cleaners
Recently I ate ice cream near the computer, oh again a miracle, an ice cream advertisement about.
None of the key words above were entered into the computer, there were no conversations on the phone. 100 percent certainty. The microphone is not plugged into the jack.
Recently had the same question remembered it and decided to share it here.
Is this a coincidence (I doubt it)? Coincidence (which I also doubt)? or something third.

There was also a similar case: we discussed construction vacuum cleaners with a friend, there were only mobile phones and ancient TV nearby, we didn’t look for anything on the Internet, we just talked. Then I come home, and on the desktop they show me an advertisement for the Karchers.
Coincidence? I don't think

These are:
1- accident.
2 - you were looking for similar products / services, even if it was remotely related to the company, technology. For example, you once watched air conditioners (or a carpet, for example), then the context can catch up with you with a vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, TV, and whatever.
I think I got the idea right.
