Answer 6

If I had to guess randomly, it could be: 1. Your web extensions that have access to your browser history sending that info to FB 2. Device proximity with web browser-sync on the phone. 3. Voice recognition. Of course, FB & IG is listening in your phone, whoever thinks that conspiracy theory hasn't been paying any attention to the ads they get.

@presbyter nije of that. He's just being retargeted based on video view.

Answer 12

Google pixelme

Answer 13

If you watched the youtube video on youtube AND didn't clicked to his link then there is absolutely no way to retarget you.  

Comments

That's not true. I have watched many review videos on YouTube and the next day was bombarded with ads on FB for those same products.

I am talking about retargeting. The ads you saw may be in close proximity or whatever. In order for the advertiser to retarget your from youtube to facebook is for them to have added a facebook pixel in the youtube video page. This is impossible. Google would never allow any pixel from their #1 competitor.  

Answer 14

Even doorbell calls zuckerberg and tells him whats up, mans tenticles are massive!  

Answer 15

You can retarget users that viewed your youtube videos in Google ads. Just browse the audiences to find it. Not sure on fb.  

Answer 16

If you Didn’t access an advertiser landing page it was Ads data hub and programmatic integration
