Admin,

II do not want targeted advertising  as it makes me feel that I am being monitored, tracked and targeted.
I use Edge and had the relevant option turned off in Personalisation & advertising .
Kindly advise further on how this issue can be addressed.

@vladi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

The ads in the classifieds forum are by Google, who supply much of the internet's advertising.

The reason you might still be seeing personalised ads is because you are logged into your Google account, and you have personalised ads switched on. You can check this and disable it here: https://myadcenter.google.com/home

Disabling personalised ads there will turn them off for every website, not just this website.

Might I also suggest changing your default search engine to something like DuckDuckGo that doesn't track you at all. If you really want to see Google results from with DuckDuckGo you can just add !g to the beginning of the search as a one off.

Or use different browsers. Opera or Firefox block adverts by default.

Firefox has settings to block social media tracking scripts, cross-site cookies etc. If you want it to block ads you'll have to install an addon like uBlock Origin although youtube is starting to get funny over adblockers. You can still whitelist individual sites like this one to allow its ads.

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
