While those are nice words to read, I simply don't believe them. I've had personalized ads turned off on my google account since the feature was available and I still get personalized ads everywhere that they show up. That isn't damning evidence because Google isn't the only ad network, but for me it is enough to not believe those words.

I also completely realize this is an irrational opinion. I'm extremely jaded by advertising and want the major ad companies to have as little of my data as possible.
