I don't see how they could know anything about me.
Although I am aware that Nakers ensures that the stuff I want to buy is stocked at my local supermarket.

Do you pay in cash for everything?
Do you never use the same card more than once?
Have you never booked a flight with a credit card?
Ever completed APIS on said booking?

Companies make a fortune aggregating these breadcrumbs we leave.

This is a close enough summation, yes.
I don't own any credit cards or supermarket loyalty cards.
I do most of my internet browsing at work and tend to get targeted adverts related to my job.

Although supermarkets do track you via your debit card.
They get all the benefit of the loyalty scheme without giving you jack.
