You might as well know what they think they know about you. Maybe there's something you'd like to change on there. I'm looking at you, Meadow Skipper.
I'm proud for some reason that all google knows about me is my approximate age, that I am male, and that I speak Engrish.

Same, and that I am married, and somehow am in a high income bracket. I blame TGR related searches for that one. Or cause I am a homeowner.

What, a few lingerie ads never hurt anyone. And at least one person I know (and am currently dating) seems to appreciate my research.

Heh, Google has my age and marital status right... It also thinks I work for a large employer in the technology industry making high earner status with a bachelors degree, while speaking English and Dutch.
Looks like I’m punching up from my actual blue collar poor ass loser status.

Do you actually speak Dutch?
I'm kinda all in on google (pixel phone, gmail, photos, drive, android auto, etc) so it's no surprise they know stuff, but their WAG about my job is "Technology" as well.

My Google thing said I speak Welsh. No idea how they got that. And I don't think I've seen any ads targeting me, in Welsh.

I have all settings turned to private, and they claim to know nothing about me.

Same. Although everytime my wife searches for something on her computer I start getting ads for the widget on my phone. I assume Comcast and the router we use has something to do with that, but I'm definitely not an IT expert by any means. Originally Posted by zion zig zag

I'm at the age where depends ads start being pushed. Do a search on bikinis and problem solved.

Well this is rad. Evidently sometime in the past, I must've shut off personalized ads as the option is set to "Off" and all the fields are blank. Incognito, baby! ...sorta
That's just Google, though. I'm sure the Facebook tracking bots are still crawling all over the place as evidenced by other ads that are obviously targeted like dog food or a random appliance I was looking up.

So THAT must explain why I've gotten ads for Robb Report and private jet reviews. Well, jokes on them!!! [crawls back under hood of broke down salvage car] Originally Posted by BCMtnHound
