Targeted advertising
In Turkish: Hedefli reklam
Ads chosen for you based on what you searched, visited, bought or where you go, collected across sites and apps.
When shoes follow you from one site to the next, that is targeted advertising at work. Trackers and your advertising ID tell ad companies what you looked at, and they bid to show you something related.
The ads themselves are not dangerous, but the profile behind them is data about you, and it can leak or be sold. You can limit it in your phone and account settings, though this only reduces it.
What to do
- Turn off ad personalisation in your Google, Apple and social media accounts.
- Reset or delete your advertising ID in the phone settings.
- Do not click ads for sensitive products on a shared device.
