Update data sharing preferences off PinterestBelow are other options that allow you to control how data from a browser or mobile device is used for ads personalization by Pinterest and other ad services. Keep in mind each control only applies to data from the browser or device you implement it on.
If you want to opt out of all Pinterest ad personalization using your off-Pinterest activity, use your Pinterest account settings as described above
Update web activity preferencesPinterest adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and provides an opt out on the DAA’s consumer choice tool atoptout.aboutads.info. On that site you can opt out of the use of information that Pinterest collects about your web browsing activity for the purpose of showing you targeted ads.
Note: When you opt out on aboutads.info, your choice there only applies to information the Pinterest tag collects from the browser you use to opt out. It does not apply to mobile apps or any other browsers you may use. Also note that if you clear your cookies, you’ll have to opt out again.
Update mobile apps preferencesiOS and Android devices also offer choices that are specific to those platforms. We summarize those choices below, but please read those disclosures in detail
If you wish to opt out, you should use these settings, and remember that your choice only applies to the device on which you opt out. If you want to opt out of multiple devices, you need to opt out separately on each one.
Android
Android devices have a resettable advertising identifier that Pinterest and other companies use to target ads based on the apps you use. Android devices allow you to opt out of the use of this identifier for purposes of showing you targeted ads. VisitAndroid’s help center to learn more.
iOS
On any device with iOS version 14.5 or above, an app is required to ask permission to use information it receives about your activity from other companies’ apps and websites on that device, if it uses the information for advertising. VisitApple’s help center to learn more.
On Pinterest
If you select “Allow” tracking, this helps personalize your ads experience and improve which ads you see. If you select “Ask App Not to Track”, your ads will be less personalized. Advertisers may still send us this activity information. We will only use this information for advertising after we’ve removed or combined it with other information so it’s no longer connected to you.
