ad targeting

Personalized marketing delivery

Ad targeting is the practice of directing advertisements to specific audiences based on demographics, interests, browsing history, or behavior.

Platforms collect data to show users ads deemed relevant to them: The ad targeting got creepy—I mentioned needing new shoes and suddenly every site showed me sneakers.

Also called targeted advertising.
