    That’s because his/her data isn’t included. The decision would be different if that data included his/her shopping history.

      That’s no fun for the guardian. Gotta get those clicks with controversial misleading headlines. Totally not a tabloid, totally…

      What this article fails to explain is what exactly they are selling and how that is matched up to groups of users. It also fails to explain how advertising is linked to anonymous users at the other end and how throughout all of this it’s just a random ID they are targeting rather than Mr Phillips from Doncaster. It doesn’t explain at all the mechanism to do this because it doesn’t match the narrative they want to push of outrage. It only mentions it in passing and of you don’t already know how these things work you’re still none the wiser.

      Never stop being the guardian, never stop. 😂🤣😂.
