Could this be the reason why on iPhones, nearly everything we search for in Google Chrome is advertised to us on Instagram?

- kurthr 2y agoYep, just noticed exactly this.
- staplers 2y agoLook up "retargeting ads"
- calmworm 2y agoRight. This is the most basic level of marketing. Is this not as widely known as I assumed it was?
- Dudhbbh3343 2y agoHow does it work exactly? Google sells lists of search terms and associated device ids to Meta?
- repeekad 2y agoGoogle data never leaves their platform, it’s too valuable to them. Retargeting works the other way where a site or app attempts to get a cookie or fingerprint and gives them to Google or Meta to target that user with ads
- littlestymaar 2y agoIIRC not to Meta themselves but to Meta's customers (I mean, the advertisers, which are the ones who pay. You the user aren't Meta's customer, you are their product) but it's been a long time since I hear Criteo's technical pitch so I don't remember how it works.
- calmworm 2y agoWhy, on any device… or group of devices you own and/or operate.

- dagmx 2y agoMore likely just tracking pixels. Unless Google is sharing data with Meta which seems unlikely. They operate competing ad networks.
- yathaid 2y agoHappens on Android too. Google and Facebook have a secret agreement to share data. https://www.wired.com/story/texas-accuses-google-facebook-illegal-conspiracy/ https://www.wired.com/story/texas-accuses-google-facebook-il...
