I had a discussion about high-end coffee machines and looked one up on phone (not buying one!). Only FB app on phone is WhatsApp. Went on computer (guest mode on chromebook) to Facebok and I saw the very very very first high-end coffee maker ad in my life. Any plausible path?

I looked up one brand, got ad for another brand.
It was a very very specific conversation, and I'm actually not in the market for coffee machines. And it was instant. Looked up, put phone down, turned on other machine, saw ad for other brandhttps://twitter.com/robinberjon/status/1263632775682437126 …Show this thread -
All my searches are in incognito mode. I know it's hard to believe, but I actually research stuff like this for a living. I put everything in incognito mode and separated devices and sandboxed Facebook just so I could rule that out. https://twitter.com/adnanchcg/status/1263633265749090304 …

Facebook aside, Twitter should give every woman an extra 240 characters per tweet to say I research all this for a living and I know all the basic obvious stuff. This makes Twitter unusable—my mentions get overwhelmed by kindergarten level “explaining”. https://twitter.com/topquark/status/126364086562236416 …https://twitter.com/topquark/status/1263640865622364161 …

The most likely explanation is tracking by IP/Wifi. The speed with which it happened suggests some sort of automatic retargeting. I would like to know if this is something they disclose somewhere, or if this is known to advertisers or others? That’s my core question.

Have you checked your "off-Facebook activity"? It sometimes can show what stuff is sending data to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/activity_list …
