far Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 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.

JordanC Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanC Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You should be able to mate, not really sure how you'd go about it, must be a plugin or something for IE? I use DoNotTrackMe, Ghostery and Adblock Plus for Chrome, don't know if these are available for IE, have a quick search on Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
