Well apparently it is based on

either ads I have clicked or pages I liked. So apparently 3/4 of the things I click on are a mystery to me. For example I am apparently interested in "Entre Ríos Province" - which Google tells me is in Argentina. I've never heard of it.
The subject I suspect I click most ads about, and like most pages about is Norwich. Which features not at all in my interests according to Facebook. However they are tracking my interests plainly doesn't work.
