Is my work laptop linked to my account?

I was searching for a coat to buy the other day. I signed onto my work laptop today and saw an Ad for coats on the browser on the work laptop.

A month ago I was looking for duvet covers and an ad for beds popped up but I thought nothing of it, but after today I am wondering how this is happening

I don't use my work laptop to browse at all

I'm not signed onto google on my work laptop, the email is my work outlook.. so not sure how this is happening

Can anyone help?

it's probably something to do with the IP address if it's the same as they link devices and thnik it's similar people and show similar ads.

( I think)

Yup same IP address. My endless looking at really expensive bags often pops up on DPs laptop. Unfortunately he hasn't got the hint yet Grin

I get the same on my work mobile, but not laptop.
Stuff i google on my personal phone appears on my work phone.

@MrsFin yeah so glad it's just to do with the IP address
