When you explain how adtech tracking works, with examples to organisaions that have a moral and regulatory need to protect privacy, in some of the most sensitive situations, it is possible to get them to remove ad tech without too much effort.

This has been a mixed success as a privacy complaint and I hope the regulator (ICO) steps in to make sure similar organisations remove ad tracking where there are vulnerable users.

Childline was copied in many countries, you might want to check your national online service.
