this is not surprising

here are your google ad preferences - i.e. what the ad cookies have surmised from your browsing habits.

i'm a 25-34 year old male.

which is entirely wrong, but right for targeting ads. what odd results, if any, do you have?

i knew there would be at least one of you.

which is mildly odd, as i allow google to set cookies. apparently there's some more subtle cookie-thing going on, which i block. yay me :-)

I also skew male, and younger than I am, though not by much.

I'm a 25-34 year old female with cats. Who knew?

Apparently I'm also a 25-34 year old male. Maybe that's why I can't get a date?

*snerk* I appear to have no category yet - of course I'm using a newish browser ;>

I am also uncategorized, which is weird considering that I do allow Google to set cookies on this computer and I've used it a ton, for years.

I'm betting you and I are simply to "all over the place" for them to define, demographically :>

On my phone, 25-35 and female. I'm puzzled, because anything I look up on my phone is of a neutral nature... could it be fanfiction.net that points at female, or is female the default?

Mine just says Demographics - Gender - Male.

Same demo. And clearly has me pegged with the media obsession, gadget whoring and... paleontology?

OK, that one's not actually so strange, given my current fandom. ;)

Beauty and fitness: Yoga and Pilates.

Everything is relatively fresh on my computer. I started yoga 6 weeks ago and have been trying to find resources for practice and for new classes--so this is not too suprising given the circumstances, but it's still a bit weird for me.

My main browsers do not accept third party cookies, so I get:

"You cannot view or edit interests when you do not have an 'id' cookie. Opt-in to get a cookie."

:>

On my phone, however, it has me pegged.

Mine is... pretty accurate. *hangs head* I do not push my demographic boundaries.

(Specifically, it says I'm a female between 25-34, who is interested in textile crafts, science, computers, reference tools, and the arts.)

[twilight2000.livejournal.com]

Yea - but that's a cool bunch of stuff - if that's your demo, go for it!

Mine, sadly, is more traditional - so I push boundaries just be working in software ;>

It nailed my browsing patterns, even the fact that I spent a lot of time shopping for a new roof. On the other hand, it thinks I'm six to fifteen years older than I really am.
