If you click through to other sites, such as news sites, blogs, web comics, and so on, they may be loading ads from adtech companies, which may be retargeted based on your browser cookies without involving any social media site. So your overall vulnerability to this targeting has more to do with what your browser does (such as whether it blocks trackers and expires or removes some cookies) and what sites you visit (in terms of where they choose to embed ads from).
