Google is helping users limit targeted ads
Facebook isn't the only one offering tighter controls over ad privacy. Google has introduced a revamped Ad Settings that should make it easier to both learn how ads target you and, more importantly, to reduce that targeting. You now see all the ad targeting factors in one view, with both explanations of their presence and options to either turn them off or tweak the settings. You can't completely disable ad targeting, but there's enough here that you can limit it to highly generic factors like the site you're visiting and the time of day.
