If it was innocent then I guess the question is why did they target me for ads and who determines a normal sleep schedule? That means that are using tracking cookies at some level. I should also note it happened multiple times and I have never once seen my insurance advertising

- gotchange 11y agoWhat if you're working the night shift and your sleep routine or pattern is completely inverted? There's a lot of assumptions done on the advertisers' part here.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoOne can either complain that the ads are too invasive by targeting you specifically, or complain that ads are too vague and are therefore irrelevant to you.
- tedunangst 11y agoObviously the problem is that the advertiser doesn't know enough about you. They need to track more data, not less!
- gotchange 11y agoObviously I am not arguing for more tracking by advertisers. I was just pointing out the fault in their reasoning that they make a lot of assumptions not based on strong science.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoCiting exceptions to general rules doesn't mean their assumptions aren't based on science. My advertisement for a beach vacation isn't "not based on strong science" just because I'm not aiming it at people with albinism.
