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.

    • GOOD LUCK with council, Parks or Dulwich Estate. I wonder what they did with all the money from the parking fines for driving through Dulwich village at the wrong time of day. They certainly don't intend to fix the pot hole in Gallery road neither cut trees dowen that block peoples light or clear jogging paths.   HOW MUCH LONGER or are they Bankrupt like most councils? I doubt it when they charge you £80 for your annual garden bin to be emptied.  
    • Thanks - I agree that is nice wild. It's just that in places there are thistles and nettles going right across the path. 
    • noted on the Friend's map as jogging path AND dog exercise area - with Friends noting the circumference for dog walking. the duwlch runners have the paved circuits - do the runners really need the outer paths as well?  the paths are mostly fine - there's a couple of bits where the brambles are long (literally, a couple of bits of brambles). I tend to tread them down if I need to get passed on the path    
    • Cheers - (note to self - must try harder)   An independent agency determines the distance using a computerised Geographical Information System (GIS). This system measures the distance from each applicant’s home to the designated main entrance of the school (where the main drive pedestrian entrance joins Red Post Hill opposite Ardbeg Road) by the shortest straight-line distance in metres. A centroid (centre point), derived by Ordnance Survey (OS), determines the start point of the home address. If a child lives in a block of flats where a communal entrance is used, the centroid for the block and not the individual flat is used for calculation purposes. When dealing with multiple applications from a block of flats to the school, lower door numbers will take priority.
