If you're running Android, I suggest you install one of the open source "firewall"s available on FDroid.
Even if you don't plan on using it, make yourself aware of the sheer number of requests being sent _constantly_ from not only your applications, but by Android system services themselves.
I'm not saying these requests are always related to ad tracking, but you can't argue there's a lot of information constantly being sent back an forth.
Pro-tip: Your battery life will possibly double running a software firewall on Android...
