My dh and I both have smartphones.
Earlier he was looking on his own phone at a (well known, expensive) menswear website he often buys from and showed me a hat to ask my opinion, from his phone. It's a website I don't ever visit myself as it's menswear.
Just now, I logged onto social media on my own phone and in between posts, there was a "suggested" advert for this very same menswear website and the first suggested item was the exact same hat my dh had asked my opinion on earlier! But we have totally separate phones.
How could this happen? I don't think it's relevant but my dh doesn't use social media himself. I definitely haven't ever visited the menswear website he looks at frequently. We don't use each other's phones at all so he doesn't borrow my phone to look the internet.
These "suggested" adverts in between posts I am used to seeing but it's usually for products and websites I have visited myself on the phone.
The only other thing is that out if the blue a few days ago my phone started operating on a private browser (I noticed the surround colour of internet pages had turned from white to grey, plus I was logged out automatically every 10 mins from every website, so I googled it) and it turned out my phone had the private browsing icon ticked in settings - I assumed one if the kids had done it by accident (unlikely as they are young and don't really go on my phone, but not impossible). I unticked it and my phone went back to normal i.e. White page and keeping me logged in.
But how could my phone pick up a specific website page and product my dh was looking at earlier on his unrelated phone?
Anyone shed any light on it?!
