iinm, ads served by Google is based on your profiling.
new devices are more likely to get such ads.
I was using a new device and started getting these ads. it wasn't happening on my old device.
what you can do: * report those ads.. that English one I could click X on the banner ad that appeared on LYN forum. after that, it's no longer appearing
* another method is to disable JavaScript for now

I had this on my new device: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « luckily this ad seems to be broken, but managed to still report it by clicking X.

QUOTE(ace-user @ Aug 25 2016, 04:33 PM) just checking.. new device? also, I think clearing browser history, etc might make it worse. the ads are served by Google owned company and it's based on your profiling. I only got these ads on my new device.

QUOTE(GalaxiasWilliam @ Aug 25 2016, 11:22 PM) Affected user reporting in. I think is better for us to state what phone and what scenarios did these ads appear. Phone: HTC 10 Connectivity: WiFi & Mobile Data Occurrence: Only on forum.lowyat.net is this a new device or just factory wiped recently?

you guys might also want to check your Google Settings under go settings -- Google. if ad personalIzation not enabled, I suspect likely to get more such ads.

QUOTE(GalaxiasWilliam @ Aug 25 2016, 11:24 PM) New device, edited my post with more of my phones. Happened to my old old HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 also. The M7 was reset a few months ago, and the M8 was reset early January can you check settings - Google -- ads and see if you have ad personalization enabled? for me.. I'm only getting these ads on my new device.. that I just started using yesterday. my old device.. no such issues. This post has been edited by mydragoon: Aug 25 2016, 11:31 PM

anyway, I know disabling JavaScript will stop these ads but it might also cause the website you're browsing not to work properly.

QUOTE(se7en @ Aug 26 2016, 03:14 AM) More information needed, we can pro-actively block the particular ad, but i haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my nexus and s7. I think you need to try using a new device. disable Google ad personalization. and.. maybe use new amount on LYN since iinm, admin/ mod may have different views in the forum.
