what does your phone/computer learn about you?

more particularly "facebook"

a few years ago I was at a gathering of similarly minded folks and an old boy gave a talk about
security on the phone and computer... (haven't seen the fellow in a while... but he sure had a fancy hat)
it seemed pretty far "out there."

With my last iPad, I had the Facebook icon on my desktop. Facebook always put up ads on what things I searched for online. When that iPad died, I didn't put the icon back on, I use my browser to connect. I always try to clear memory and cache before and after I go there, but occasionally, it still shows ads from my searches for gear, meaning things are cached somewhere else on the iPad, especially when it's eBay. I don't know the connection with eBay, but it is there, but not Amazon. I wonder what one might get if you talked about "cats as food?"
