is it possible that someone can be tracking my computer? - and no I'm not talking glow niggers

Do you use google? Do you have a smartphone? Do you have family that has posted photos with you in them on facebook, even if you don't have an account yourself? Do you use the internet in any form?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, then yes, you are being tracked.

So you're seeing ads which are not relevant to you, and that makes you think you're being tracked? What?

If someone else is using your VPN company's servers while searching for moving trucks in Florida, ad tracking companies might have associated the IP address of the VPN exit node with that and they're now showing those ads to you too.

The ads being relevant to someone else you know might just be glossolalia.

Tracking cookies probably. Clear all your cookies and you'll probably get country-specific ads again. That is unless they're reading a region code off of your computer. There's a ton of ways they can find that out and it's not necessarily an indication that they're "onto you".

I don't really know what to make of "applies to a certain person I know". Applications or your phone spying on you for ad purposes is a well known thing, but it greatly depends on what services were used to communicate your desires and what services are serving you the suspect ads. I can't really speculate beyond that.

That too. VPNs don't make you invisible, they just "anonymize" you. That basically means the services confuse you for other people.

Also, are you drunk?
