How to stop companies tracking you for ads

You can limit ad tracking on your phone and in your browser. On iPhone, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → turn off 'Allow Apps to Request to Track'. On Android, go to Settings → Privacy → Ads → turn on 'Opt out of Ads Personalisation'. In your browser, install an ad blocker extension like uBlock Origin.

Companies track your browsing, searches, and app usage to show you targeted ads. You can reduce this by changing your phone's privacy settings, adjusting your Google and Apple ad preferences, and using browser extensions that block trackers. You won't stop all tracking, but these steps significantly reduce how much companies can follow you around the internet.
