Any chance you are browsing with a VPN? If all AdTech was as bad as you claim it to be, then Google, and the whole sector, wouldn't be as massive as they are today. Just like with anything: There are implementations that don't work at all/are easily fooled, but there are also systems running so effective, that you most likely don't even notice their "invisible hand" guiding you or at least guiding what you see.
