I got one of those Facebook cameras in the bedroom and now being spammed ruthlessly about penis enlargement.

I have spoken about products or places to go and then the adverts pop up on my instagram. Am sure of it - happened a few times.

I wouldn't be surprised if their cross-site cookies have snared you, can we test it with deliberate ad-terms?

Are the emails definitely from facebook, rather than ad.facebook.xyz.com - loads of those doing the rounds and very easy to get caught out.

I don't believe Facebook is sending you emails if you don't have a Facebook account. Even they are not that blatant.
However, Facebook does use tracking cookies and all manner of things to monitor pretty much everyone on the planet. If they don't have a direct connection to you, they'll have an indirect one from people you know who do use Facebook products. Don't forget they own WhatsApp and Instagram too, plus others I'm sure.

Ok here goes. I'm off to Italy in January, probably Rome, hoping for a nice 4 star hotel in the Prati district.
