That’s How Internet Advertisers Read Your Mind

Isn’t it annoying how targeted ads haunt you wherever you go and whatever you do? You filter them in your mind, not paying attention to what they say, but sometimes they can really give you the creeps. Advertisers follow you everywhere. Literally. For example, if you pass by, say, a bank, you’ll most likely soon get a targeted ad of this same bank and probably even with this same address.
Advertisers may use geo tags to target you. These tags are basically points on the map, and when you happen to be within a certain distance from one of these points, you start getting specific ads. Let’s say you like to run in a certain park, and there’s a new apartment building somewhere nearby. Most likely you’ll start receiving ads urging you to buy an apartment by that exact address. Interested? Let's investigate the issue!
