To what extent do I still have free will given online behavioural data?

(old debate I know, but psychology isn't my strong point).

Facebook, google, etc have wildly comprehensive databases of my behaviour, online and offline. Only recently I have come to understand that a lot about my personality is quite static. Given this it feels like I can be manipulated and therefore my decisions can be sold to the highest bidder. Is there still hope?
