If you use the internet, you know the feeling. One day you briefly look at some new shoes online, and the next day as you're scrolling through Face- book, you're bombarded by ads about shoes. You con- tinue using the internet as usual, having forgotten all about the shoes you want- ed yesterday. But you can't get away. Every page you visit has innocent little ads in every corner trying to sell you shoes. It feels like the whole internet is shouting at you, trying to pull you in- to buying something you don't even want anymore, or maybe never even want- ed in the first place. Virtually everything you search for on the internet shows up again in an adver- tisement. It almost feels like you're being stalked. Believe it or not, most advertising companies truly do mean well. A fter all, says Sarah Hofstetter, the chairwoman for the ad agency 360i, "What would you rather see? Ads that are at least trying to be of interest to you, or ads that are spray and prey? " Targeted ads were meant to provide truly rel- evant content to consum- ers like us. It's meant to be a win- win: companies sell more products, advertising com- panies make money, and consumers get the prod- ucts and services they "need." But however good the in- tentions, targeted ads can be everything from annoy- ing to awkward to even disturbing. A fter all, who wants someone else to see everything you do on the internet just so they can sell things to you? Your browsing history is more than just data: it's you. It reveals a lot about you, like your political af- filiations, recreational in- terests, religious beliefs, shopping habits, health is- sues, financial status and so much more. That's why over 68 per- cent of people don't like targeted ads. So if you're one of those people, I have great news for you: you can make the stalker ads go away. EASY STEPS YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW Clear your cookies Cookies act like a trail of breadcrumbs that let ad- vertising companies trail behind you as you browse the internet. So what happens when you get rid of all the bread- crumbs behind you? They stop following you! If you'd like to know how to clear the cookies in your browser, just search for "how to clear cookies in [your browser]". Apple, Google and Microsoft all have instructions for how to do this. Reset your advertising ID If you use an Android or Apple phone, you're being tracked by more than just cookies. Both devices use an advertising ID to build a profile for advertisers to use. To clear it on Android, find the reset button in the ads menu inside the Goog- le settings app. On an iP- hone, go to Setting > Pri- vacy > Advertising. LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS Install an ad-blocker Your web browser lets you install an add-on that will block most ads for you. My favorite is AdBlock Plus, which is free on both Firefox and Chrome. All ads are blocked by default, but you can whitelist cer- tain sites if you want. ABP will even show you how many ads it has blocked on a single page. As I write this, my highest is 20 ; but I've seen pages with as many as 1,000 ads blocked. On mobile, use a private browser If you regularly use the internet on your phone, a private browser will both speed up your browsing and protect you from ad targeting. While they may not be ideal for everyday use for everyone, Firefox Fo- cus and DuckDuckGo are both good choices for pri- vacy-centric browsers for your phone. Give feedback on ads Most ads on Facebook, YouTube, Google and Ins- tagram will give you an op- portunity to provide feed- back if you look around the ad (usually in the cor- ners). Look for phras- es like "Why am I seeing this ad" or "Stop Seeing Ads Like This." Tell advertising com- panies how you feel; let them know if an ad is irrel- evant, offensive or annoy- ing. Chances are, you won't see it again. It will probably take you some time to stop see- ing ads or to fine-tune the ones that you see. But with some persistence, you have the power to take con- trol of your online activity and say "no" to being fol- lowed around by advertis- ing companies.
