This morning I went shopping at Lidl,amongst the other items I bought was Lidl's own brand Deluxe Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream. I've never tried it or even seen it advertised before so I thought I'd give it a try,I paid cash for my shopping and went home.Once home I turned on my laptop and went on Facebook,almost instantly an advert popped up for Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream. Is that just a coincidence or are more dark sinister forces at work here..?

    Probably via a rewards card, or similar?

    Nope, I paid cash and I don't use any rewards or loyalty cards in that shop,it just seemed strange that the first time I've seen/bought the item, up pops an advert from a competitor for the very same thing.

    Facial recognition on the till then?

    No, seriously if you haven't given them anything that identifies you, then it has to be coincidence.

    Weird though.
