in introduceyourself •  6 years ago  (edited)

Targeted Ads are those Ads that are designed to follow you around everywhere based upon a product you searched or brought online .I am sure that all of us have encountered one or two such instances where this has happened to us ,making all that you browse in the web available to a lot of companies and thus in a way by analysing your browsing history it is possible reveal a lot about you including your health issues and maybe even your bank details . To a crypto holder it is very important that his browsing history remains completely private!! So now what do you do to keep your information private??? Here are a few tips to do so.

1.Always clear you cookies.
All the major companies like google , Safari have given instructions on how to clear data on their browsers ,by doing this every time you visit a website you will be giving a tougher time following you around .
2.Check your google ad history
You can take a look about the data and information that google has stored about you on "my.activity.google.com".It includes all information including the history of advertisements loaded by you and you can choose the information you want to permanently want to delete .
3.Resetting your advertisement ID
Both Apple and Google phones have something called as advertising ID to help marketers track your activity. You can reset this on google devices in the Ads menu in the google settings app and Iphone users can find the reset button inside settings app in the privacy menu .
