Then they should make them relevant to the context of the page, rather than me individually. How am I supposed to trust the opinion of an ad network that is selling my information for their profit? They aren't just using that information to serve me relevant ads. They are selling that data, making more money off my data than they are off of my non-existent purchases. It is extremely rare that I ever see an ad that is actually relevant to me, with tracking or not. When I do see ads that are relevant to me they are completely useless (ex: showing me the exact product that I just looked at a few minutes ago and nothing new). Furthermore, I have been conditioned to completely ignore anything that might even look like an ad. I can't think of anytime that I have ever bought something because I saw an internet ad for it. I have purchased things that were recommended and/or reviewed by a trusted source online. Context and qualifications are much more convincing and influential than a box telling me to buy something.
