Advertisement is how most of the online businesses make money. The ad-tech has evolved so much over the time that when you search for one product, you will see advertisements related to it whenever you use any app or website.
Google, one of the leading platforms for advertisements, personalizes ads based on the user’s activities. Even though technology has seen many advancements, there are instances where the ads are not relevant or just weird.
However, Google offers a way for users to change what the company knows about the user and personalize the ads. On top of that, the user can also choose to allow Google to use browsing data to target ads or not.
Here is a guide showcasing how you can customize your preferences for the Google account.
