Ad Preferences - neat tool

HeatherShrinking

I was reading an article about online privacy and found a neat link that lets you adjust your Google ad preferences. Lots of websites (including MFP) use Google ads and according to the link "you can edit the interests and inferred demographics that Google has associated with your cookie."

Just thought I'd share, since every once in a while there is a thread about "Why am I getting an ad about ______ here?"

Or just use Firefox and get the Ad Block ad-on.

interesting...maybe I will remove the food ads so I stop getting tempted with Dominos

Or use Chrome with Adblock Plus...no ads. :drinker:

thanks for passing that information along because I'm getting tired of everything I google so relevant ad pops up - like they are following me - oh yeah they are

If you use Firefox, get an addon called Adblock Plus. It works incredibly well. In fact, I didn't even know MFP had ads until I visited here accidently with Internet Explorer.

It will even let you block certain images or portions of a web page from ever showing up again. Works great in forums where people put up stupid avatar pics or those annoying ticker things. I highly recommend it.
