Advertising ID

In Turkish: Reklam kimliği

A number your phone gives apps so advertisers can recognise your device across apps without knowing your name.

Both Android and iPhone give each device an advertising ID. Apps share it with ad companies, which then connect what you do in one app to what you do in another. It is not your name, but combined with other data it can point to you.

You can delete or reset it, or limit its use, in the phone's privacy settings. The exact wording depends on the phone and version.

What to do

  1. Find the advertising section in your phone's privacy settings.
  2. Delete the ID or turn off personalised ads.
  3. Reset it from time to time if you cannot delete it.
