Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:20 am
Google on Thursday introduced My Ads Center , an initiative that aims to help users around the world control the type of ads they see on products like YouTube and Discover , as well as on the search engine. It will also allow you to block sensitive ads and learn more about the information used to personalize your online advertising experience.
My Ads Center offers a greater degree of control over ads on Google websites and apps. Once you're signed in to Google, you can access My Ads Center directly from Search, YouTube, and Discover ads, and decide which brands and topics you want to see more or less advertising on.
This way, you don't have to waste time looking for the right controls or figuring out how your information is used. The idea is that you can manage your preferences about the advertising you see.
Another option is to turn off ad personalization altogether. With My Ads iceland number data Center, this control is located in the center of the product, making it easier to find. If a user specifies that they do not want personalized ads, they will still see ads but they may be less relevant or less useful . This will apply to any page visited once logged in.
Google My Ads Center allows ads related to topics such as “ alcohol, online dating, weight loss, gambling , pregnancy, or parenting.”
This feature is based on a set of basic privacy principles that define what information Google collects and what it doesn't. The company assures that it does not sell "personal" information and uses the content stored in applications such as Gmail, Photos and Drive for advertising purposes. "Likewise, we never use sensitive information, for example, health, race, religion or sexual orientation to personalize ads," they explained.
Through My Ads Center, Google is expanding those commitments by giving you the ability to control what information is used to personalize the ads you see.
You can decide which parts of your activity on Google are used to show you ads, without affecting your experience with Google products. Also, if you do not want your YouTube history to be used to personalize advertising, you can disable it in My Ads Center, without affecting relevant recommendations in the feed.
