Targeted Advertisements

The privacy policies of some sites allow them to turn your Likes and reviews into personalized advertisements. Though you cannot remove advertisements altogether (without an extension like AdBlock), you can opt out of having your information pulled for the use of marketing.

Twitter's targeted ad campaign matches your profile information and tweet archive to relevant advertisers. Opting out is easy: Through your profile, go to your Security Settings page and uncheck the box under the promoted content section.

Search History

Every time you go looking for something on the web, your search engine learns a little bit more about you. This data is collected, analyzed and used to better target the advertisements you see and give you more relevant search results. While this web personalization might make for more finely-tuned results, it could also lead to slightly warped search results, depending what your search engine's algorithm has determined to be your interests.

The three major search engines all allow you to turn this personalized filtering off with relative ease.

1. Bing search history

URL Anchor
https://ssl.bing.com/profile/history?oma=toggle_off Opt out here
