Google does not rely on a user being logged in. Go to adsettings.google.com in a logged out state, for example. I'm not sure what you're referring to.

- singron 4y agoThat's only for ad personalization. If you want to turn off web and app activity, you have to be logged in. The ad industry has had these opt-outs for a while, but you have to set opt-out cookies on about 500 sites, so it's not practical. DNT solves that problem, but the industry won't voluntarily adopt any solution that has any realistic chance of making a difference.
- hedora 4y agoI went to the site. (They misspelled the DNS name "adssettings.google.com) I opted out. I pressed the trash can button in Firefox Focus. I reopened the site. It said I was opted in. Their "disable tracking" button simply does not work. I'm not enabling cookies so I can opt out and they can just buy my tracking information from some other ad network. There is a reason I disable persistent cookies and want DNT headers to be legally binding.
