See what Google thinks of you (demographics and interests)

What are these "google ads" you speak of?

I'm running

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...kkbiglidom

and

http://www.ghostery.com/

And I also turned off my browsing history storage a long time ago. It was not straightforward to find.

Well, look under "Categories". Are they accurate?

"No interest categories are associated with your ads preferences so far.

You can add interests such as Entertainment, Travel or Shopping."

and a button, "Add Categories"

I only get a list of categories, too.
with options to remove
and add and opt out further down the page.


might be a browser /platform specific page load thing




google ads tends to use your latest cookies from what I've seen.

ah! checked with my non ad protected safari (using firefox with adblock before) and yes, they cut my age in half - that was nice of them...

I don't see anything about age or gender. Just categories of interest.

I just see categories of interest and they're all correct. I like that.

Same here. They changed it midstream?
