Or is it a coincidence that you are talking to a friend about something and soon after you see an advertisement for the same thing using your mobile phone?
Let's find out if this really happens.
It's not just a coincidence that you see ads for the products you're interested in, but that doesn't mean your phone listens to your conversations just because it doesn't need to.
In fact, we use our phones to provide a variety of information to various websites and apps, for example by accepting "cookies" we allow them to track our online activities.
These include first-party cookies, which the website uses to "remember" various things.
For example, login cookies store your login details so you don't have to enter information every time you log in.
Then there are "third party cookies", which are actually from the domain that is outside the website you are visiting.
Third parties are mostly marketing companies that have an agreement with the first party, ie the website or app you visit, under which the marketing company will place advertisements and will be allowed to receive your data.
These companies have started to detect you, your routines, desires, and needs everything, these companies want to estimate the popularity of the product and also how the age, gender, height, weight, profession, and occupations of the consumers. Affect product popularity.
By collecting and using this type of information, advertising agencies improve their advertising algorithms, so that users see the ads.
In addition, it determines what type of ad you should show from your activity.
For example, if you see a post on a social media platform or "like" it records what kind of content you like.
