Riddle me this: I have a YouTube video playing in the background at work, using Edge’s InPrivate mode. I see in the sidebar a suggestion for a video it says I watched “2 months ago”.

How does it know this?

I am not signed in. I am using InPrivate. I close my browser at the end of the day. This computer has restarted many times in the past two months.

"Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late."
