Question Regarding Targeted Ads

by mlmmentors

I notice that when I search for something online if I log into Facebook or any other website those exact ads are now being shown. Can someone explain how advertisers are able to target market this way?

Thanks!

    Facebook has all the information about you they need to place a targetted ad..

    And Google Chrome register your search history to place targetted ads. To prevent this, there has been made a Chrome extension called Keep My Opt-Outs.

      Let me give an example. Yesterday I went online searching for a Comcast Internet service for my mother in law. Now, every site I go to has an ad for Xfinity/Comcast. How are they able to do this?

    It's called Retargetting, there are a handful of
    ad networks that specialize in it.
