Ad Choices - clarification


far

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Can one of your IT dudes clarify if 'ad choices' is malware thats putting extra pop ups on websites OR if it is 'interest based advertising' logo

 

Seems like there are conflicting opinions on the web and im too stupid to understand whats what.

Google Ad Choices?

 

It's tracker based advertising. If you look at a lot of car websites you'll get a lot of motoring related adverts when browsing websites that have ad choices enabled. Not sure if they're popups. I always use a pop-up blocker and would always recommend one.

cheers dude

 

on internet explorer a lot of the websites have banners and have a blue arrow in the top right cornder, ive looked at the 'ad choices' website here http://www.youradchoices.com/

 

I can block these in chrome but in IE the ad block programme doesnt work

 

Ah yeah, it tracks your browsing to see what sort of subject matter you look at so if you do a lot of online shopping then you'll get shopping deals as adverts and stuff.

 

I hate IE with a passion, Chrome and Adblock Plus for me :)

 

It's all legit, just don't like the thought of them tracking what I do!
