- TheVikingOwain 7y agoIn fact I’d argue it means they have to track you. And telling them your preference gives them another data point on you.

- JohnFen 7y agoAs others have said, there's a huge difference between "not showing you personalized ads" and "not tracking you". But I really wanted to opine about the optout.aboutads.info link. I suppose that using that can't hurt, but I didn't find it to be particularly helpful. I gave up on it entirely quite a while back.
