Sorry, those are not example of targeted ads.

A targeted ad is one that knows more about you than your age range, gender and what you are currently looking at (sports event, cooking site etc.).

A targeted ad knows that you usually buy tickets to a certain sports team, or you prefer baking cookies rather than cakes, and that you prefer the "Mestle" brand of flour etc.
