    I love when I search for a product on a website, then I go to a completely different website and see advertisements for the same product I searched for on the other site. The marketers on the second website must have been extremely lucky with the ad they placed. How do they do it?

    I have a feeling this happens to people on a daily basis, but a company that is tied to Trump does it and its the story of the day.

    That's cookie profiling - http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/cookie-profiling.html

    And can easily be disabled

    So you are comparing cookie profiling to Trump and his campaign conspiring with Russia and a British company that blackmails, entraps with hookers and hidden cameras, and uses hacked data which they illegally took and data acquired through companies connected to the candidate in order to specifically targeted "subtle propaganda" (NOT just ads, but also targeted tweets, shares and posts, hiring paid protesters in America, coordinating protests) in order to install a puppet that is being blackmailed by Russia, to eliminate sanctions and weaken NATO so that Russia can gain power and influence, as well as so Putin's oligarchs can access their money that is tied up in sanctions.

    One thing I hate about the internet, it's full of not so bright people.

    Says the guy who didn't even know what cookie profiling is and was comparing it to the CA scandal.

    And your long is working out so very fine, keep mixing politics with market analysis, that's the real road to riches. Only the brightest traders do that.

    So you are claiming that is the only sort of tracking going on?

    There is tracking and there is handing out/selling data that you knowingly submitted to a site. When you use a website, you are on their property, they have the right to collect certain types of info legally, what is not legal is giving out data that you gave them for a specific purpose. FB gave CA data that was internal, user submitted, it wasn't cookies or trackers.

    Will it be ok for your bank to sell your personal info to some third party so that they can manipulate you for their clients agenda? After all, your bank already uses cookies and trackers, it's all the same right?

    Facebook makes their money selling user data you dolt. The user is Facebook's product that is up for sale.

    What are you even babbling about, FB makes money by showing you ads using data they keep internally, they don't and can't sell personally identifiable data to third parties. Give me a link where FB is selling their user data, I am gonna buy it for my big data project right away.

    From a DNC entity no less. If you really think FB is only profiting off of ads you are a complete moron.
