How does a Remarketing Ad work?

So after exiting your website when the user visits other sites that run Google banners, then Google can read the cookies stored in your browser and fire accurate remarketing ads – this ad can be customized right to the level of the exact product/service page the user viewed on your site.
Additionally, many ecommerce marketers even make use of discount coupons to achieve better conversions via remarketing. This coupon would only show up to customers who visited the page and did not purchase. While other still stick to the simple banner ad if they feel a discount coupon would not dramatically improve remarketing conversions.
