Thanks that was a really detailed explanation!

I’m a bit Google shy since I was looking for dinosaur action figures for one of the nephews and one of my asshat friends suggested BadDragon do extra large models that are really good… let’s just say my advertising profile took a really weird turn, and has not fully recovered.

You can delete a lot of ad related data associated with your accounts if you dig through settings. accounts.google.com is a good starting point.

for that sort of thing you can look it up in an private window, where at least google will have to pretend to not be tracking you
