How to disable data tracking for ads

Let’s face it, it’s pretty annoying to search for a service or product and then receive a barrage of ads for it, right? On the other hand, Google Ads can often help us find what we are looking for, and in this way, they also fuel the wonderful e-commerce of the digital world.

But evidence suggests that Google did notice user dissatisfaction with inappropriate and widespread advertising. Among other things, it has already begun to launch an application programming interface (API) capable of transmitting user information to third parties based on topic analysis instead of website search. And you know what’s best, disabling these ads is very simple and easy. Check it out below.

How to disable data tracking for Google ads

First, you need to understand that Google is changing the old third-party cookie system, which directed ads directly to your browsing screen, based on the searches you make on your website.

Now, the criteria for ads to appear while you are browsing will be based on the topics of interest to the user, which were collected in the analysis of browsing activity.

In other words, this information about website visits is recorded only on the user’s device and the topics are only passed to advertisers to display targeted ads.

Obviously, the ads will not continue unless you want them to, so it is possible to disable these ads and avoid any inconvenience while searching on the platform. And if you’re one of those people who don’t like seeing your screen full of goodies, check out how to do that in this new API now.

The first step

First, make sure you’re signed in to your account in your browser so you can save your preferences below and opt out of Google ads once and for all.

Then go to the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen. Then click Settings.

The second step

Click Privacy & Security in the menu on the left side. Then select Ad Privacy.

The third step

In this part you will see that there are three options to disable Chrome ads.

The fourth step

When you click Ad Themes, you can click the blue switch to disable themes that target your interests for third parties based on your browsing history. This is one of the first ways to get rid of unwanted ads from your browser.

Step five

By clicking on “Website Suggested Ads”, you can choose to disable suggested ads based on the websites you have visited using the blue switch.

Step six

By accessing the “Ad Measurement” option, you can disable the ability to share your data with websites to help them, which prevents them from measuring the effectiveness of your ads.
