产品投放个性化广告和搜索结果。这将涵盖大部分最普通的互联网活动。

How to Stop Personalized Ads and Search Results in Google and Facebook
We live in a world where our data and personal
interests are the most valuable thing. Whilst it can be hard to completely
eradicate websites and services from tracking your history and building аn
advertising profile for уou, there are still methods to stоp or minimizе
personalized ads and search results.
In this guide, we’ll be taking a look at how we can stop such personalized results from appearing on your web searches, on websites, and whilst watching videos.
We will be looking at the best methods you can use to stop personalized results on the biggest platforms from Youtube and Google to Facebook and Instagram
Stop Personalized Results and Ads on Google Products
We’ll start with the company that arguably has the biggest presence on the internet; Google. To begin with, let’s take a look at how you can turn off personalized advertisements.
This will stop Google from showing you adverts related to your search and profile that Google has made up from your previous browsing and purchase habits.
To do this, visit the Google my account page and then select ‘Data & Personalization’ in the top left.
Next, scroll down this page and find the Ad personalization section. Click ‘Go to ad settings’ and click the button to turn ad personalization off. By switching this off, you’ll no longer see personalized ads on YouTube, in Google searches, or on websites that use Google advertising.
According to W3techs, this is roughly 30% of all websites. The most popular websites often use Google ads, so chances are the majority of the websites you visit will be covered through this.
Up next, it’s time to turn off personalized search results through Google. Unfortunately, there isn’t really a way to stop Google from gathering data on what you search, so if you want to use an alternative, try DuckDuckGo.
However, you can still edit your search in Google Chrome to ensure each search you make shows you unpersonalized results. To do this, click the settings menu (three stacked dots) in the top right of Chrome, then click Settings.
In the settings menu, scroll down to the Search engine section and click on Manage search engines.
Next, click Add just above Other search engines, and then enter the information provided below into the specified fields:
- Search engine – Personalization off – Google
- Keyword – per
- URL – http://www.google.com/search?pws=0&q=%s
Click Add after entering the correct information.
Now all you need to do is start any search
with the keyword ‘per’ at the beginning to automatically be directed through
this unpersonalized search URL.
Turn Off Personalized Ads on Facebook and Instagram
Now that we’ve removed personalized ads and
search from YouTube and Google, it’s time to tackle the next biggest internet
company – Facebook.
To turn off personalized ads on Facebook company websites, go to Facebook and the click the drop down arrow next to the notification bar at the top right. On the drop-down menu that appears, click Settings.
On the settings page, click Ads on the left side. On the ‘Ads’ page you’ll have a number of options to choose from. Here are some examples of what you can do here.
You can
choose to disallow ads based on data from partners –
this includes data that Facebook has gathered on you whilst browsing other
non-Facebook owned websites on the internet.
You can
choose to disallow ads based on your Facebook company product activity – turning this off will stop Facebook using data gathered from
Facebook, Instagram, or any other Facebook Company products for adverts.
Facebook will still gather this data, but ads won’t be personalized based on
this information.
You can also choose to hide certain
information to stop further personalization and change some privacy settings,
or choose to hide certain ad topics and categories on this page.
Summary
In summary, this guide will help you take the
steps to stop personalized ads and search results through Google and Facebook
products. This will cover the majority of most average internet activity.
If you want further control, the best steps you can follow is to use alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo, avoid creating a Google account, use a VPN, and browse using incognito mode.
Even with these attempts, companies like Facebook and Google may still be able to make a profile based on the websites you visit, your browsing habits, and the location or hardware information given to browsers when you visit pages.
Unfortunately it’s very hard to completely
stop tracking like this on the internet, but with the right precautions, you
can certainly minimize it, or at least change what impact your personalized
information has on what search results and ads you see.
