How to Mute Google Ads
Google allows you to control some advertisements you see when browsing the web. The Google Mute This Ad tool delivers control and transparency by allowing you to close or remove ads that don’t interest you and to signal those that do. Google has a section called Ad Settings, which allows you to personalize your browsing experience when using Google platforms. Follow these steps to mute Google ads: You can also modify your ad preferences by muting categories or advertisers. Under the section titled How your ads are personalized, select a topic or advertiser that you would like to mute, then select Turn off. Confirm you would like to turn off the category by selecting Turn off once again. The feature doesn’t remove ads completely. You can only remove or mute ads from specific advertisers partnered with Google. The advantage is that muting an ad stops it from showing up on your screen, and it stops similar ads from the same advertiser using a specific website. There are two critical benefits to the updated Mute This Ad tool:
First, it recognizes feedback from you from any device as long as you are signed in to Google.Google plans to expand the mute tool across more websites and apps partnered with Google to show ads.
Take Note: Nothing Good Lasts Forever
It is important to note that muting the reminder ads only lasts for 90 days because most reminder ads do not exist after this period of time. In addition, reminder ads from apps and websites that don’t use Google’s ad services may still appear, as these aren’t governed by the Google Ad Settings controls. If you haven’t cleared your browser cookies, or the advertiser uses a different website URL to display an ad that isn’t partnered with Google, you may continue to see that ad.
What Is a Reminder Ad?
When you browse for a product at an online store, an ad for that product follows you around as you browse other sites. That kind of ad is called a Reminder Ad. Google advertisers use reminder ads as a way to encourage you to return to their page.
