How to customize your ads experience
You can customize your ads experience using My Ad Center to ensure you're served ads that align with your interests more often.
To personalize your ads experience, you can:
Customize ad topics and brands
to tell Google what kinds of things you want to see more or fewer ads about.
Limit ads about sensitive topics
to tell Google not show you ads about certain sensitive topics, like alcohol or gambling.
Turn on or off personalized ads on Google
to tell Google whether or not to use your preferences, info, and activity to show you relevant ads.
Customizing your ads and limiting ads about sensitive topics don't affect the ads you're shown in the same way. When you customize your ads, you let Google know your preferences, and we try to show you ads that suit them. If you ask to see fewer ads from a brand or topic, you may still be shown relevant ads from that brand or topic, but you should be shown ads of different brands or topics more often. When you limit ads about sensitive topics, we recognize that the topic might be uncomfortable for you and make our best attempt to not show you ads about those topics.

Where to customize your ads
You can customize your ads in the My Ad Center or on ads you're shown on Google services. You can access My Ad Center on every Google service where you might be shown ads, like Google Search, YouTube, and Maps.
My Ad Center works best in the newest version of your browser, so you may not be able to use My Ad Center without the most up-to-date version.

Customize ad topics and brands
My Ad Center gives you more control of the kind of ads you're shown on Google services by letting you choose the topics you’d like to see more or fewer ads about. Customizing your ads doesn't mean you'll be shown more or fewer ads overall, but giving feedback on your ad preferences helps Google determine what ads to show you based on your interests.
Customizing your ads doesn’t block ad topics or brands. When you tell Google you want to be shown fewer ads about a topic or brand, you’ll get fewer ads about that topic or brand soon. In some cases, your browsing data can affect the preferences you set in My Ad Center. For example, if you select that you want to be shown fewer ads about jewelry in My Ad Center but you search for “earrings” using Google Search, you may be shown related ads about earrings based on this search.
Customize ad topics and brands in My Ad Center
You can use the
Customize Ads
page in My Ad Center to choose topics and brands that you want to be shown more or fewer ads about on Google services. You can also set your preferences for ads about sensitive topics.
On the
Topics
tab, you can filter and sort popular topics and opt to get more or fewer ads about those topics.
On the
Brands
tab, you can filter and sort popular brands and opt to get more or fewer ads about those brands.
On the
Sensitive
tab, you can limit ads about sensitive topics like Alcohol, Gambling, Weight loss, and more.

Limit ads about sensitive topics
You can use My Ad Center to limit the ads that you get for certain sensitive topics on Google services while you are signed in to your Google Account on Google Search, YouTube, and Discover. You can limit ads for the following topics:
Alcohol
Dating
Gambling
Pregnancy and parenting
Weight loss
We offer the option to limit ads related to specific topics based on extensive user research into what topics people consider to be the most sensitive. This research is ongoing, so we’ll continue to assess topics based on your feedback.
We will make our best attempt to not show you ads about the topics you’ve chosen, but in some cases these ads may still appear.
You might be shown an ad about something else that may still feature the topic you’ve limited. For example, you might be shown an airline ad featuring someone drinking a glass of champagne.
If you search for something related to a topic you’ve chosen to limit, you might be shown contextual ads about that topic in your search results. For example, if you use Google Search to look for the best dating app, you may be shown ads for dating apps in your search results.
When you limit ads about sensitive topics, it affects the ads you're shown on Google services while you are signed in to your Google Account.
