So my workplace was looking at ESBs and suddenly all the sites I visited had ads for MuleSoft and WSO2.
Over the last week or two any browser in my home not using an ad-blocker sees heaps of MuleSoft ads. Almost as though the ad network has noticed that my phone at work travels to my house and has created a linkage between the two.
- shostack 10y agoThis is probably less savvy than that. If you login to various apps across devices, particularly a Google account, they are linked by a GUID. This can then be used for retargeting purposes as the advertiser wants to target the person and usually not just the particular device/cookie.
- rodgerd 10y agoTo clarify: the ads migrated from being served to my work PC (where I never log into a personal Google account), to my phone (on the same network), to my home PCs (including other people who aren't using my personal Google account).
