Logging out of Facebook doesn't mean they won't be able to track you. Your browser fingerprint is likely tracked. If you've logged into Facebook at home, and you've logged into a computer at work, Audience Network likely figures out that your residential IP is your home, and an aggregated commercial network is your work.

If you visited the manufacturer's site, you would have hit a re-targeting pixel for the network, that will track you around the internet to remind you. At work, on your phone, at school, and at home.
