Anyone else getting browser ads related to their sims' lives these days?

The other day my sims went on a couple of dates and one of them worked on his university degree.

That evening, some browser ads popped up on my computer for dating sites, and for-profit universities to "help me finish my degree".

Those ads are not for me. I'm in a long-term established relationship and haven't dated new people in several years. And I got all the degrees I was going to get, several more years before that.


Those ads were not for me because they were for.... my sims :o


I have also noticed ads popping up for clothes or furniture similar in style to those my sims are using, even when not similar to the style I use in real life.

Spoiler

I mean, I know we all click on "agree" to these policies that allow use of our in-game actions to determine what gets sent to ad partners... but still is a bit creepy to see in action!


Anyone else getting things like this happening?
