Default Big Food Is Watching?

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well.

I think this is just on Face book but am not sure, I know I am tracked on line because I have had ads referring to posts I made on forums. Something to do about that was suggested here but I either got lazy and didn't follow through or else my computer was so gimpy I didn't want to annoy it further.

Can supermarkets also do this? I bought a somewhat obscure personal care item and ads showed up. I shopped at Safeway last week which is unusual for me and now I have ads for Safeway. I normally shop at Fred Meyer (Kroger) and a horse rescue site I follow today had requests for Kroger shoppers to sign up for a program that donates money from purchases, i have not seen either of the latter 2 before. I think there have been some other instances but I assumed it was coincidence.

I am a little creeped out by this, am I losing my mind or is the evil Big Food
intruding on my privacy. Did they start selling info from your store card to FB?
