I'm now getting adverts for children's clothing.
I got ads for South Asian wedding dresses. It knows my gender, nationality, ethnicity, and relationship status, and that none of those are a match for South Asian wedding dresses. They were pretty nice dresses tho ngl.
This is what 'I don't want personalised ads, don't use my data' should look like. I'd be happy to see a confused ad algorithm, it means it doesn't have a clue who I am.
