I don't know but they are. Like I said in my post above when we were at my dad's house in SC we did not want to drive back home. We talked about paying a semi-truck to haul our car home so we could fly back. When we got on the computer there were all kinds of ads for semi-trucks you could pay to haul your car???
This happens to us all the time while we are home. We will be talking about something then get on the computer & the ads are all over the place???

@SilleeMee @Nightowlz We have been listened to. We have noticed a few times after we had a conversation I found adds or info on my IPad when I picked it up pertaining to an item we discussed.

Don't be deceived, Big Brother knows all. Got any electronic devices newer than 2010, including motor vehicle? Odds are, there isn't much Big Boy does not know about ya! Advanced technology for most was a good thing. Now??

Nothing is private anymore. Anyone who has Alexa or Siri is vulnerable, as well as smart phone users. People like their electronics, but it comes at a cost,which is lack of privacy. Might as well get used to it.

Use the search engine duck duck go. It blocks third party hidden trackers.

Through your phone's microphone.

Especially if it's an iPhone. Not sure about Android.

@SurferWife

I don't own a smart phone so maybe that's why I am not tracked by that device. I wonder if there is a way to disable the mic when the phone is not being used?

I don't know either. I was in Dillards looking at linens. When I returned home to my computer, I had ads for Southern Living linens from Dillards.
