Is google doing the same? Most likely.
Is it reliable? Less clear, given the Google ads page that show what Google thinks it knows about you is often mistaken on age and gender. Perhaps it's more reliable singling out an individual than an age.
- mirimir 11y agoI doubt that they work very well across languages. What Google ads page?
- anexprogrammer 11y agoIt won't work for you if you have no google account, you have to log in and go to http://www.google.com/ads/preferences http://www.google.com/ads/preferences, so here's a story about it with images: http://uk.businessinsider.com/what-google-knows-about-you-2014-11?op=1?r=US&IR=T http://uk.businessinsider.com/what-google-knows-about-you-20... When it was doing the rounds a couple of years back plenty of people were commenting how often it got age and gender wrong. Sometimes it was widly inaccurate on interests too.
