Opt out of browser-enabled interest-based advertising?

How do I get rid of all the advertising ads on my iPad?

I don't have any to recommend, but you might look into third party browsers. Safari is pretty useless when it comes to ad blocking, but some third party browsers are better.

866-211-0874 Opt out of Business Marketing and Mobile Advertising

866-211-0874 automated, don't have to talk to anyone.
Supposedly the super-cookie opt out, but could also just be the same options as the verizon.com/myprivacy page as well. Worth a shot though. Obviously Verizon doesn't call it the supercookie opt-out.

On a somewhat related topic, I too get very frequent mailings offering me FiOS promotions. While the snail mail I get is in English, as an existing subscriber I'm not eligible for any of the promos they're touting. All those ads do is rub in the fact that new subscribers get a much better deal than do existing customers.
In the interest of saving mailing costs, as well as saving trees, you'd think that Verizon would find a way to integrate their existing customer data base with their advertising mailing list.
I'm not holding my breath though, and, while I wish you luck, I suggest you don't hold yours either.

The opt out option does not stop the advertising..Why not????

cant stop the advertising which is very annoying. Every time i try to go to one of my favorites the ads keep popping up first. I have to delete them in order to get to the site i wanted.

Some 'bad' companies don't process op-outs.
Go to the
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''''
(There’s a lot of good stuff here)
and look for add / pop-up blockers. There are also site blockers.

Google offering "opt out" of interest based ads

I assume everyone is aware of the option to opt out of the interest based ads in Google; but in case not, I found this article in the +NY Times+ interesting and useful.

Or save it for when you haven't got his attention!
Yes, but...if I haven't got his attention, then how do I get it?
I can't yet figure out how to contact you guys unless I find you answering one of my pesky questions and then I can change the subject and send you off to another of my issues.
I don't butt into someone else's thread to talk to you - unless in desparation.
That's one problem I've encountered, no private messaging here (or at least none for us lowly peons with fewer than 150 magic points...I am tantalizingly close, however )

Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings...never did really. Also JAVA now refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox.

I use PaleMoon now trying to get rid of advertising sharks. I have WINXP still - need assistive-technology computer for pain so taking time on getting new computer.
I have been severely sabotaged by advertising conglomerates selling my private information. They have no right -yet they do whatever they want. Anyhow...I've tried to OPT-OUT of EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I've tried 5 places found. Google, NAI, DAA, & FIREFOX HELP said go to about:config was instructed to turn "from false to true" the "privacy.tracking.protection.enabled" .But I couldn't keep this setting because this also has to be set to false to use any saved log-on's to my accounts., and add-on AD BLOCK PLUS 2.6.7 when I was on Firefox & had some ticks and now it is disabled because it won't work with PaleMoon 25.2.1
This case is about GOOGLE OPT-OUT. Starting here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads?hl=en&sig=ACi0TCgWymel0CNWxdcnEWPzWNs9wDd7cVQHxHsmtz4w30CAyHk7MqyzzZdGh3m6FpDaJsKmunTLEvJZY5LAm3h6gIdzE30L-Q
There are 2 columns. The left one "ADS ON GOOGLE" NEVER RETAINS AFTER LOG-OFF. The right column "Google ads across the web
" seems to retain sometimes - if I remember right it falls off after a period of time as opposed to after just LOGGING-OFF. Below the columns there are options, but I don't have a GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
Also down there is this link: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en ...you see the box with this: Advertising industry program participation
Google is a participating member of groups that have developed industry privacy standards like the Ad-Choices icon for online advertising.

....I clicked OPTED OUT FOR NAI on their link http://www.networkadvertising.org/
...I clicked OPTED OUT FOR DAA on their link http://www.aboutads.info/
...I clicked PROTECT MY CHOICES and downloaded the app.
These 1st 2 links used to have the same trouble and didn't retain ANYTHING and wouldn't re OPT-OUT ANY UNTIL THEY WERE SATIATED - saying I didn't have 3rd party cookies allowed when I did - this took hours.
I sent numerous trouble reports to them that they ignored - then I think I sent one to Firefox and it is much better but still not completely right. Today DAA retains 106 out of 122 and if I repeatedly RE-OPT-OUT successively I can get it to 121 out of 122 - never completely. (currently the one not taking is Accuen Inc. but it changes periodically - makes me think they set one up to take my info and then share it with all of them - lol )
Same for NAI currently I started with 94 out of 96 - next re-OPTED-OUT got it to 95 out of 96 and no further and same co. Accuen Inc (accuenmedia.com ) wouldn't update.
NOTE: I was copy/pasting the list of NON-OPT-OUT'S to them and my own document file to try and find trends/problems...now NAI programmers protected the list from being able to be COPIED AND PASTED!!! That's the opposite of being open and interested in making this work, right? Why would they want to allow us to OPT-OUT of their criminal espionage behavior...RIGHT? (lol) FYI: I recorded that the big one that was always retained before this one was...MEDIA MATH INC.
MANY Opt-outs would drop off while on-line and ALL would drop-off once logged-off. Now it's retaining most once logged off - but it hasn't been long enough to tell if they'll fall back into their bad habits as they've done before...
This has been going on forever for me - I've been reporting this malfunction since 2013.
Of course I downloaded PROTECT MY CHOICES FOR FIREFOX via NAI AND DAA'S links ...http://www.aboutads.info/PMC#protect-your-choices-for-firefox ............they both go to the same place???.....PROTECT MY CHOICES http://www.aboutads.info/plugin/install/firefox....that seems odd...it's as if they are the same entity then. ABOUTADS is DAA'S WEBSITE. NAI'S IS NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG so why would NAI use DAA'S PROTECT MY CHOICES app?
Lastely, I also requested that the COOKIES NAMES BE UNIFORMLY IDENTIFIABLE. All the OPT-OUT COOKIES that are to be forevermore retained on my computer and that I am to trust the EVERY FUNCTION OF - well they all have different COOKIE NAMES!! Most of the names you can not tell that they are OPT-OUT COOKIES!! - SO NOWWW They have created another problem.
We can no longer just "DELETE ALL COOKIES".
PLUS, we can no longer go through our cookies and delete individual ones that snuck through.
Every one of the OPT-OUT COOKIES SHOULD SAY "OPT-OUT" IWITHIN THEIR NAME OF THEIR COOKIE - PERIOD. RIGHT? (LOL) For real. Why was this mess was allowed?
REALLY IN MY OPINION THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE BLOCKED AT THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANIES LEVEL - IN OUR SERVERS. We should not have to deal with them. Same thing with viruses, malware and such beasts. But I digress.
In summary:
1.)Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings
2.) JAVA refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox/PaleMoon.
3.) DAA & NAI still don't retain ALL OPT-OUT settings and never completely OPT-OUT all companies.
4.) OPT-OUT cookies should be uniformly names with the words OPT-OUT in their titles.
5.) Ad Block Plus 25.6.7 doesn't work for Pale Moon and there is no alternative - (didn't work great in FireFox)
Right now I'm mainly interested in #1)retaining my GOOGLE OPT-OUTS while on line AND while logged off since it is attacking my computer and steeling all the speed until it freezes my keyboard.
Currently I am trying to remember to run through 3. OPT-OUTS every time I log on.
Thanks so much!

How do I disable those pesky "hover-over" pop ups? I tried the method of right clicking on them and opting out, but it doesn't work. If you guys could add some kind of blocker to your browser, it would be a huge plus!

What did I do wrong? Is it necessary to have a question mark at the end of the Rule? I couldn't find anything on how to create a Smart Playlist in Help. There is stuff in there, but it does not go into much detail, i.e., nothing on the proper wording of the Rule.

Safari Browser masquerading as an "Update" & requiring "opt-out"

For those of us who do not have Safari installed (and do not want Safari installed), why is Apple misrepresenting Safari Browser as an update? Furthermore, why does avoiding this install require an "opt-out" from the user?

First.
The Apple Software Updater installed on Windows uses the Internet connection of the user to "look" for updates (not download or install them without user permission).
The Apple Software Updater "found" a new version of Safari (even though you may have just launched iTunes) so it did the job intended by the software (find updates of Apple software).
Second.
Once the Updater has done its works the new software is identified in a simple modal dialog window with check boxes to allow/disallow downloads and installs. Plenty of links to "learn more" on each.
The Apple Software Updater places a check box next to each new or updated software download.
Here comes the "tricky part" for most new Windows users. Remove the check mark (click on it) for software you don't want to download or don't want to install. Or quit the Updater to not download and install anything found.
A check box and you have all of the options.
A check box. You decide.
A check box (not some secret plot by Apple).
A check box.

I used the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on with the previous version of Firefox, but when I go the site, they say it is not compatible with my browser (sensing Firefox 6.0.2); while the description says it works with Firefox. ???

I go to the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download site, and apparently it "reads" what browser I'm using (Firefox 6.0.2, and says the add-on is not compatible with my browser.
Yet in the description box on the download site, it lists Firefox as being compatible.

I don't see that addon on addons.mozilla.org -- are you downloading it from there, or somewhere else?

I just signed up for Netlix...they offered in the "opt out" privacy settings, for me to download, for Firefox users, the Network Advertising Initiative, NAI,..how do I uninstall this, in simple directions please. use my email naumoff@email.unc.edu

The NAI came to me while in privacy opt out setting signing up for Netflix...I need to uninstall it...I can't find where to do that on my computer. Need simple directions. use email: [email protected] as NAI is strangling my computer and takes forever even on your site, to load a page.

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

Problems with interest-based ads

I use Firefox 9.0.1 and BT Yahoo mail. The ads in BT Yahoo are totally inappropriate for me and are driving me mad, but when I try to change them using Yahoo's interest-based ad chioces they say my browser does not support interest-based ad chioces. Is there anything I can do, apart from changing either Firefox or Yahoo?

This just started today. I get the following interest based add that I can't get rid of. It says to click on the close box to stop the enhancements but they keep reappearing. And to make matters worse ads are now appearing on yahoo; I click on opt out but each time I relog on, the ads are there again and it shows that I never opted out. It's even worse with IE; the popup add below appears and I can't even opt out.
I clicked on the so-called plugin removal tool but it's inactive. I ran norton power eraser and it's not showing up as malicious software.

IAd has an "Opt Out" clause :)

For those of us that HATE ads, and were hesitating upgrading to iOS4 because of the iAd app/portion of the OS/whatever, I found out that there is indeed an Opt-Out clause to tell Apple to NOT send iAds to your iPhone
You need to install iOS4, and then go to the following URL from within the iPhone browser;
http://oo.apple.com
You have to do it from each iPhone that's running iOS4, but it should opt you out of the program
See why it's GOOD to read the EULA? this was hidden 3/4 of the way down in the EULA
Message was edited by: MacTechG4

Unfortunately, this does NOT opt out of iAds. It opts out of "Interest based" iAds which means only that the ads you see are not tailored to your interests and you may see the same ads over and over. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4228 for the details. Sounded too good to be true, eh?

Email preference centre - default opt-out

Hi there,
We built an email preference centre with corresponding landing page in Eloqua and are good to go for a trial to assess the impact on our global unsubscribe rate. One thing remains however. We cannot seem to find how to make the tick boxes on the landing pages ticked by default, i.e. to let people opt out instead of opt in. Where can we enable this? Thank you.
Kind regards,
Kristoff

We did the same thing in our instance of Eloqua. We are using a beta version where email address is not the unique identifier. We use SFDC Contact ID as our unique identifier as we have multiple contacts who use the same email address.
We created custom subscription pages for each of our lines of business (aka Eloqua form on an Eloqua landing page). On our landing pages, we had check boxes that they could check to opt out of receiving a specific newsletter or type of campaign such as promotional communications or tradeshows, etc....
The first step was to create a field for each of those options in the database and we sent the field to be automatically checked when a new contact was added. We had to do an initial download though of all the contacts, added those fields to the spreadsheet and then populated them with a "1" to make the box checked on the subscription page. We also offered an option to check a box to remove them from all future marketing communications which would automatically uncheck all the other boxes on the form and subsequently turn those values to "0". Then we use filters to make sure we don't send to anyone who has a value of "1" in the field if they have opted out of receiving any communications.
In order to make it work though, we had to add JavaScript to each of the landing pages to check and uncheck boxes based on what they chose. Here is the code for one of my pages:
<script type="text/javascript">
    var _elqQ = _elqQ || [];
    _elqQ.push(['elqSetSiteId', '1499497143']);

Have you automated email opt-out (unsubscribe) using CRM?

Business scenario:
A person reading an email generated by our campaign decides they would like to opt-out from future email from us. Every email contains a link at the bottom which when clicked opens a browser and confirms that they've been unsubscribed from future email.
Back in CRM we're using the DO NOT USE flag on the email address of the business partner to "remember" the partners desire not to hear from us.
I would like to hear from anyone who's implemented a CRM based solution to provide the magic that sets the flag when the person reading the email clicks the UNSUBSCRIBE link.
Thanks,
Dana

Moin,
I see two possibilities.
One: probably good for permanent purposes, is to change the communication data of the BP (or if it needs to be totally standard a marketing attribute via survey) which you can subsequently use during segmentation or
two: only works for recurrent campaigns, you incorporate this as an action into your campaign automation process and thereby removing this BP from your target group.
Disadvantage of both solutions would be that you need to work with survey forms to get the data into SAP.
If someone has any other solutions, I am glad to hear them too.

No opt-out for cloud? I am incensed.

I bought a Cicsco/Linksys EA4500 router a few weeks ago based on good reviews on Amazon. I see now that the package probably said something about the cloud but if I saw it I'm sure I assumed it was some feature for which I would not sign up.
At no time was I advised that the cloud would be mandatory with no opt-out once it rolled out. This morning I see that I am being prompted to either sign a new EULA or roll back to firmware that Cisco will probably not support. This is completely unacceptable. The Cisco cloud may be really cool and awesome but the fact remains that the product I bought has been disabled by Cisco and it appears I have no way to make it functional without agreeing to new terms.
I would not be upset at all if the cloud sign up page had a "Not now" checkbox so that I could sign up at my leisure. I have no interest in sharing data with Cisco and even less interest in making my routers accessible from anywhere outside of my local LAN.
If I still have the packaging for it I'm returning it today.

jawhitti, before you return your router, read what has happened since Cisco forced the cloud firmware (Cloud) on all of us unexpectedly. We share the same feelings as you and have been trying since Wednesday to get the original firmware, we call it the Classic firmware, posted. Finally on Friday Cisco publically posted the Classic firmware. Many of us have upgraded from the Cloud firmware to the Classic firmware and now our routers behave as we bargained for when we made the purchase.
However there remains one last piece to make everybody whole and that is an update to our Classic firmware that contains the fixes that were in the Cloud firmware. I personally think Cisco didn't foresee the firestorm of protest from its Cloud program. Again, if you read the posts you will see how many angry users and companies' IT people are responding. I am hopeful Cisco will make the right decision at the beginning of next week and provide the Classic firmware with the fixes. I feel Cisco knows that their Cloud strategy may have not been fully thought through and will proceed in a far more user-friendly way.

I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

You have an opt out option.
THIS opt out option has a forever option.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)
