I have kaspersky premium. Recently I just wanted to access mykaspersky and just opened the site, I did not click anything else. I looked at my account. Then after like 30 minutes or so (in this 30 minutes I did not search kaspersky in google) I go into instagram and I have an ad about kaspersky premium. After some time I had 3 ads, which were the first things I see when I opened instagram. I enabled all the features to protect my data from kaspersky, I had enabled them way before I searched kaspersky. The premium technical support told me 3 times that google and instagram have certain policies about data. So I have a question, is this normal? I mean maybe that’s google’s policy. But how did the ad came to me so quick? Does kaspersky offer protection for this type of ad (like between google search and instagram)? I was just wondering, I am not complaining about their protection.
Edit: I just noticed that my google web&app activity is turned of too. I wondered maybe it has something to do with this, but since it is turned off so I think it doesn’t.
It does, enable anti-banner. Also be sure the browser extension is installed. In addition, its good to use ublock origin as well, as it blocks more because it accesses the page after it renders instead of trying to block ad servers
Enable anti banner and tracking off.
I don’t think even if it does I would say that there are better dedicate programs and tools to stop what is AntiAdvertisment and Third-Party tracking. As those tools/programs are privacy oriented…You should look into Brave Brower,Mullvad Browser, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock, Third Party Cookie Controllers, VPNs, Adguard DnS, NextCloud DnS, DuckDuckGo/Startpage/Wasn’t and such if you want to engineer something more rigorous to handicap/limitThird Party tracking and Advertisement.
Thank you for your reply. I would be very thankful if you correct me, to my knowledge for you to get ads you need to go into a site and if that site shares you get targeted ads. Bu I simply googled and which I have the extension and anti-banner and all other features including turning-off to kaspersky partners. I just typed and went into kaspersky but then boom I get kaspersky premium ad in instagram 15 minutes later. I really wonder, how? I would be very thankful in the case you replied if you have information. Thank you again.
There is an option in settings. It allows them to promote themselves.
These are called retargetted ads, which are ads that are targeted to people who visit your site but didn’t convert.
Kaspersky is paying for these ads which is why they follow you around straight after you’ve visited Kaspersky site especially on social media.
This is smart business & I don’t think Kaspersky ad blocker will block their own ads as they are paying for these ads & want customers to return to their site to buy a licence.
