Why is its use in politics different? References;- article by Elizabeth Thompson and Andrea Bellemar for CBC, https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/election-advertising-web-trackers-1.5276287- Hubspot's beginner guide to implementing retargeting, https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/retargeting-campaigns-beginner-guide- CBC News on the Canadian 2019 federal election announcement, https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/election-campaign-starts-today-1.5277657
