I’ve noticed lately that when I go into a city centre to do some shopping, within one hour I get an advert from that shop, even told me the city I was in? This is spooky and worrying, how are these big shops doing this?

You have location services active on your smartphone, the anti-theft systems at the entrance to shops etc. that detect RF tags on the shop's products to help prevent theft, also double as checkpoints if you like. Smartphones, passports etc. with RF/RFID tech' will be detected by these, Hense the targeted Ads.

Answer your question?.
