I know what you mean. It's the retargeting ads that bother me, mostly because I get so many for something I actually bought, not just something I went to their site, considered, and then didn't buy. Leave me alone now! (I'm looking at you, zappos) For google ads, at least, you can click the "ad choices" button on the ad and clear the things it guesses about you (you can obviously also just delete the doubleclick cookie). I actually don't mind doubleclick ads so much (don't burn me at the stake) since they can't combine it with your google account information and I have depended on them for my source of income in the past, so I do wish they had a button for "clear retargeting ads" but left all the other demographic info in place.
