Google Shopping clarifies ads may personalise via cookie-based data and other identifiers, even if cookies removed
The advertising cookie section now says Google may use cookie-based information or other advertising technologies to personalise ads even if you remove or disable cookies, unless you turn off personalised ads in ad settings. The retargeting explanation now refers to 'cookies or other identifiers' such as your IP address or information previously shared with a website, rather than only cookies.
