I always know when I’m getting targeted ads because they’ll be in Spanish. That means they’ve followed my Google activity and found I was searching for music for my Spanish choir.
It resets to “neutral” if I clear all cookies, but then I have to log back into everything like FR and Weight Watchers.
That's not accurate. I get ads in Spanish too, and I have never ever searched for anything remotely pertaining to Spanish language, culture, music, anything.
All of my advertisements are for small, fast, fairly cheap foreign cars. Occasionally I also get a BMW advertisement or one for a Dodge Challenger.
