Filter-Facebook-Ads-NoypiGeeks

Isn’t it odd that the advertisements you see on your feed are almost 100% related to your interests? Like they’ve been monitoring the pages you visit and interact with?

I, for one, see advertisements and pages that are related to clothing, travel tours, and collectible toys. Pages and products I have not heard of at all just randomly appears in my feed, almost all of them are dedicated to clothes, traveling, and toys. Of course, it is beneficial for me since I get to see different stores within the country that suits what I’m looking for.

However, there are cases when the advertisements shown in the feed are irrelevant to what the Facebook user wants. Luckily, there is a way to check this and find out what Facebook “knows” about your personality and interests.

Here you’ll find a couple of tabs that will allow you to modify your advert preferences. You can click on “Your Interests” (the one with the heart logo at the side) to see the information that was gathered by Facebook based on your interests. Once you click it, there will be another set of categories that shows what interests you. (Don’t expect it to be 100% accurate.)

You can also check out the “Advertisers you’ve interacted with” panel which will show pages that whose ads you clicked on and viewed. Click on “Whose ads you’ve clicked” within this panel and it will show a list of the ads you’ve interacted it.
