- The second one is when you are not logged into your Google account.
Both of these two advertisements are based on your internet surfing, browsing, and searching. You will only see the ads for services and products which you have once searched for. Google is very smart as it will only display the ads that are according to your age group, your gender, and your location and it also makes the use of Cookies for this principle.
