How To Change Yahoo Signature Settings

If you've ever seen an ad and thought "Why the heck am I seeing this?" you're not lone. Google personalizes the ads yous run into based on your Google account's activity — and sometimes, that tin can lead to weird results.

Fortunately, if you want to see ads that are more relevant to y'all, y'all tin change what Google thinks it knows near you. On the flip side, if you'd rather Google non use your browsing data to target ads at all, y'all can easily do that, as well.

Annotation: if you lot're signed in to your device with multiple Google accounts, personalized ads are ordinarily based on your "default account," which is the one you signed in with beginning. So earlier you lot get started, make certain y'all're using your primary profile.

Edit your info or interests

If you want to come across personalized ads, simply aren't happy with the ads y'all currently see, you can modify your Google account's traits and interests.

Become to your Google account > "Data & personalization." Find and click on "Become to ad settings" (it'south in the "Advert personalization" department).
Toggle "Ad personalization" on (if it's off)

This will include traits that you gave Google when you lot created your account (such as your age), advertisers whose websites or apps you've visited, and interests that Google has adamant based on your business relationship activity. To update a trait, click on information technology and printing "Update." To remove one of the interests or advertisers, click on the item and printing "Plough off." (Note: If you previously had ad personalization off and are only at present turning it on, you may non encounter much in the fashion of interests until Google has had some time to witness your activity.)
