targeted ads

Data-driven marketing

Targeted ads are advertisements selected for a particular viewer based on data about their demographics, browsing history, purchases, or stated interests.

The targeting aims to show people products they're likely to want, but the practice raises privacy concerns about how much companies know about individuals: I searched for running shoes once and now I'm getting targeted ads for them everywhere.
