How does Facebook know?

Asked by rojo (24179points) March 16th, 2015

I have been using DuckDuckGo as a search engine because as they say:

“What you search for is your own business and we’d like to keep it that way. That’s why we don’t collect any personal information and therefore, have none to share.” and I got tired of Google plying me with ads for their and other companies goods and services.

Today I used it to look for a Nissan Frontier and lo and behold, ads for Nissan Frontier are popping up all over my FB page. So, what is the deal? Do they share info or not?

Maybe DDG doesn’t share their info and it is the pages that I go to that do? In which case, how can I, or is there any way, around this practice?
