With consent, Google may show personalised ads using browsing topics, inferred interests, and approximate location. Without consent, ads are contextual only. Adjust at adssettings.google.com or opt out at youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK) / optout.aboutads.info (US).
4. Managing or withdrawing consent

GPC signals are honoured: a GPC header is treated as a CCPA opt-out and suppresses advertising cookies for the session.
