Your absolutely right. I don't have any social media accounts at all. I was in the office talking to a co-worker about cleaning my gutter's. I did not goggle or search anything at all. Today I check my Gmail and there are emails from gutter guard. I know 100%somebodys listening He says on a social media account... But yes, it's creepy to know how much technology is listening to you in one way or another.

Wait until you have the cops show up at the door after you give the wife a screaming “O”.
True story, and the day I threw out Amazon, turned off “Hey Siri”, and made other serious changes. Went into my Amazon account and all of the recordings of conversations and noises are right there. The event was the Culmination of many other weird and spooky techno scenarios before hand

More likely is that he was on your home wifi and your network saved the cookies from the sites he was googling, and when you turned your phone back on, presumably also on your home wifi, it showed you the same ads.
What? I did not know this. Your router also saves cookies? I attributed it to my phone listening to my conversation while it was off. I don't pretend to be an IT expert by any stretch of the imagination...........but I know I've googled things on my phone and had ads pop up on my computer, and vice versa. My assumption is that it's because all the devices were "connected" via the same network. That and internet marketing is so far advance that as a business owner, one can actually target certain keyword searches, Place what we could consider a tracker on that person making those searches and systematically appear on their YouTube, Facebook, linked in, local weather page or etc. Our phones aren’t listening to us, but all of the devices each person owns is either linked together by a number, an email, a google sign in, Facebook, social media or etc. I suppose the only way around it would be to erase the cookies from every device constantly. Internet marketing is BIG business now. SEO, voice search, google, social media’s. A company could target specific groups of people and show up every where those people go.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

My assumption is that it's because all the devices were "connected" via the same network. Your email Gomer. If you logged in here, you used your email. If you log into your laptop, youre in there under your email, same with your phone. Im pretty sure that is the connection. To them you are your email address.

Freedom and privacy is a thing of the past. Privacy is NOT a right enumerated in the U.S. constitution. It is a fabrication of a liberal supreme court decades ago that was eventually used to legalize abortion.

facebook and google share information and data collection. your google account is probably linked to the computer they were searching for bronze rims on. google saves that data across every device you have set up with them. so if you look up fishing poles on your phone youll get adds on everything linked to the google account you used. cookies are old school tracking now they save all your web and app activity in the "cloud" you can turn most of that stuff off in the settings. install DuckDuckGo as your search engine so you arent tracked for marketing

Back in the 80s I told one of my girlfriend's good looking friends that she sho was pretty. Next thing I know, we're nekkid doing the horizontal Watusi. A week later my girlfriend bitched me out about the encounter, broke up with me, packed up and left. Now, I know damn well I never told her so this phenomenon has been going on since long before ELECTRONIC social media got here.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
