Funny how in the threads about the site being littered with porn ads, it's "definitely not based on browser history"...

... but then we get threads like this one 👀

it gets explained every time it comes up. You can click on any ad on this site and it'll tell you what it was targeted on, as gets explained every time.

Some will be based on your search history profile which exists across websites and devices and apps

Some will be based on estimation of demographics of the site, i.e they will know that say 80% if the site are males 50+ living in this region with some abroad some other areas etc but gives them a lot to go on

And some will just be scattergun ads that go out to the entire network

But every ad will tell you how it was targeted, and you can turn ad personalisation off

Personalised ads​

Personalised advertising (formerly known as interest-based advertising) is a powerful tool that improves advertising relevance for users and increases ROI for advertisers. In all our publisher products, we make inferences about a user’s interests based on the sites that they visit or the apps that they use. This allows advertisers to target their campaigns according to these interests, providing an improved experience for users and advertisers alike. Learn more about our advertiser policies for personalised ads.

Google considers ads to be personalised when they're based on previously collected or historical data to determine or influence ad selection, including a user's previous search queries, activity, visits to sites or apps, demographic information or location. Specifically, this would include (for example): demographic targeting, interest category targeting, remarketing, targeting Customer Match lists and targeting audience lists uploaded in Display & Video 360 or Campaign Manager 360.

Non-personalised ads (NPA)​

Non-personalised ads are ads that aren't based on a user’s past behaviour. They're targeted using contextual information, including coarse (such as city-level) geo-targeting based on current location and content on the current site or app or current query terms. Google disallows all personalised targeting, including demographic targeting and user list targeting.

Although non-personalised ads don’t use cookies or mobile ad identifiers for ad targeting, they do still use cookies or mobile ad identifiers for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse. Therefore, you must obtain consent to use cookies for those purposes where legally required, such as in certain countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) per the ePrivacy Directive. Google does not require you to obtain consent for using the browser’s Trust Token API to combat fraud and abuse.
 
I swear nobody ever in the history of popups actually takes notice to what's on the popup, they're just really F***ing annoying and makes me not want to be interested in their product.
 
Do a few searches on 'adverts' , next time you come here it will try to find an advert on adverts and go into an infinite loop and self destruct . Like a Terminator though , it will self repair but will give you a few days space. That's my theory anyway
