As would be sad were not aware of it, but advertising - the motor trade. It is everywhere: on the streets, in the subway, buses, elevators, next to the front and on the Internet. And if the signs on poles still somehow can be combated, the World Wide Web, this process has little control. At this point someone in that much: banners at the top of the site, pop-up video, full screen "caps" and the like. Worst of all, when so "vtyuhivayut" the product that you're interested in for one reason or another, based on the monitored information from your web browser.
Of course, there are ways to fight like the popular extension AdBock Desktop operating systems that completely hide all advertisements from your eyes.
Or you can put a special device to iOS-app - Weblock, which hides the annoying ads in Safari, as well as in other games and programs.
Yes, almost all advertising can be removed out of sight, if you use third-party plug-ins and applications. But what if you for some reason you do not want to install them? Then you can at least limit the display of so-called targeted advertising. This advertisement is shown for different target groups, for example, people from 18 to 20 years - one, from 20 to 25 - other. Advertising can be displayed and, depending on your gender. All this is handled by the sites and then presented to you on a "silver platter".
But if you decide to give up the plug-ins and applications that in iOS 7, you can opt out of targeted advertising that most conventional methods simply by disconnecting the tracking function. It is very easy:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down the menu and select the Safari option.
3. In the "Privacy and security" to include the item "Do Not Track".
This setting will take effect immediately, however, you may not notice any difference in the sites. This is because the tracking of your action is a function of both voluntary on your part and on the part of Web sites. A little more about it you can find out by clicking on the link in the settings "More about Safari and Privacy ..." directly under the unit that are subject to adjustment.
However, you may notice that when you activate the "Do Not Track" on different sites no longer appear the same advertisement. This happened because now B Web site does not know what kind of ads shown to you on the previous site A.
If you want to be a bit more anonymous in the global web, activate this feature. In addition, you can use a more aggressive mode - private access in Safari, which will be unable to send or collect any statistics, as well as remove the entire cache when the session is closed.
And you'll benefit from this setting or prefer advertising that is more appropriate to your interests? Tell us about it in the comments!
