>Tell me genius, how are you supposed to target UK/EU users with relevant ads without explicitly being in the UK/EU?
Easy. The source IP address, which is present in every request, reveals the source geo (unless using a VPN). So the site can present to you UK/EU specific ads.

Yes, because that is exactly how it works today.
