So, I've been looking at cars lately. As most guys my age do, I assume.
And Facebook started showing adverts for the new Skoda.
No biggy. FB knows I'm a family guy in my early forties, and that I'm employed. I don't mind relevant advertising.
However.
Last week I wanted to buy some goodies for the house bar. So I spend an evening on a Whiskey forum and I visited two e-commerce sites specialised in alcoholic beverages.
Lo and behold, this morning I'm greeted by an advert of the Famous Grouse, a Scotch I happen to like.
To my knowledge I have not 'liked' any booze brands, had any conversations about drinks or posted anything related to that subject.
I'm no privacy hard-liner. By all means collect metadata and send me adverts. But non of this stuff has gone via FB, and I feel that if they track my browsing behaviour, it is over the line.
