The Internet is not without tracking. The websites you visit track (first-party tracking) and let other companies do the same (third-party tracking). Besides, a typical internet user is monitored via clicked links, social media accounts, sent emails, and more.
You’re being tracked if you see ads related to your previous searches on websites other than the point of original search (which can be Amazon.com or Google search). It’s called targeted advertisement and is one of the most prevalent and simplest forms of online tracking (a.k.a., browser tracking).
