This is a guide on how to easily reset your advertising ID on Google Pixel 7.
On Google Pixel devices, the Advertising ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to each device. This identifier is used to track the user’s online behavior and serve them personalized ads based on their interests.
The Advertising ID is associated with the user’s Google account, which means that the ads that are served to the user will be based on their previous search history, app usage, and other online activities.
Advertisers can use the Advertising ID to target specific users with personalized ads. For example, if a user has searched for a particular product on Google, the advertiser can use the Advertising ID to serve them ads for that product.
You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of interest-based ads if you want to stop advertisers from tracking your online behavior. This will create a new Advertising ID for you, which will be used to serve you ads. However, the ads may no longer be as relevant to your interests.
