To disable Ad measurement, go to Settings > Privacy > Ads > Ad Privacy > Ad measurement and tap the On/Off slider until it's in the Off position. Similar to Ad topics, you can block specific apps from suggesting ads to other apps, or you can disable the feature altogether (my choice). To disable App-suggested ads, go to Settings > Privacy > Ads > Ad Privacy > App-suggested ads and tap the On/Off switch until it's in the Off position. To block topics, you'll have to wait until various apps start collecting data on you. Once you've taken care of these options, you'll find Android offers you a bit more privacy. Ad topics are based on the apps you've recently used and make it possible for those apps to personalize the ads you see. Finally, you'll want to delete your advertising ID, which apps use to personalize your experience. To disable Ad topics, go to Settings > Privacy > Ads > Ad Privacy > Ad topics. I prefer to not allow companies and apps to use my information to find out how well their ads are performing.
