    She would have searched using her phone. 98% of my desktop use is on my computer at work. From work, I typically access my banking, google account and MFP, rarely any others, but I would suspect it all ties in via google somehow.

    Google is the reason. Most do not turn tracking off. This article explains how to do it. They are the feeder of most of the ads we see. If the info is connected to a google account, they can target ads to you.

    Had to laugh when I did this....Google hasn't tracked me via my mobile device for at least 4 years. It had one ping when I was at University of BC for a few days 4 years ago. That's the only record, lol. Of course we don't sync our devices either.
