Yes but where is the email hosted for the person you sent the email to.

Gmail? I think it’s understood that gmail is crawling your email for
targeted ad purposes. Why else would it be free?
I read recently that one of the data points leading to the spooky
seeming ads is the proximity to other people’s phones. You’re
talking about <topic> with someone and an hour later see an ad for
<topic>. Spooky. Except it’s because the person you were near has
been googling for <topic> and they know you were near him.
I’d been getting ads for holsters and body armor; which I thought was
super weird. Then I read that little factoid about proximity to
other people’s phones and remembered that one of my co-workers is in
a militia. So I think that checks out.

Lately, I have been getting spam that is pushing products that I just
talked about in emails.
Coincidence?
