Google and FB have an advertising partnership, thus sharing data about what you search vs what context-sensitive ads you see. http://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthof/2013/10/18/facebook-google-reach-surprise-detente-on-advertising/ -Jeff Khoury

FWIW, I use a browser plug-in called Ghostery that blocks all of those little tracking "bugs" that are built into so many sites these days.
