Is Facebook listening to my conversations? If so, how to adjust the settings to not let it do that?

This morning my wife and I were discussing by previous boss’s boss, Jane Doe, for about 15 seconds. When she opened FB this afternoon, first “friend suggestion” was Jane Doe. This also happens when she’s talking about buying something, say a desk, for the house—desks items will magically be in FB ads.In neither case did she ever search for or type Jane Doe or Desk into FB or any web browser.Are there some settings we can adjust on her phone, either in the FB Settings or in the phone settings.
