Go into the market for a mildly big ticket item other than a house and do some searches or browse some websites with privacy blockers off. You'll get start getting "relevant" ads.

I went to a e-bike manufacturer's website a couple months ago and they chased me around the internet with ads for like a week.

For me, this more often presents as ubiquitous ads for something I have already bought.

For some ads, i think google, you can click/tap on that blue little X to close it. Then a clickable field appears, and when you click, or tap on you can choose "I already bought this" among the reasons for why you closed that ad.

Question is if one is willing to do that, or not. I prefer blocking them.

Even more so on amazon

"yes Amazon I have just brought that TTRPG supplement why would I want to buy it again"

I once googled airport tow tractors to see what their specs were. Saw ads of airport equipment for months after... I'm nowhere near buying a 16-ton tug to move airliners around.

That would make for an awesome "saw a coupon, this is what they shipped!" story. Probably good resale to an FBO.

I'm in the market for a bigger house. Schibsted knows. Google still seems to have no idea.
