I don't mean to nitpick language, but does this sound incredibly condescending to anyone else? They might as well have written "If you're a paranoid loser I guess you can have the shitty experience where we don't try to ham-fistedly guess at your interests"
The funny thing is I think if they just didn't speak in idiotic PR-speak people probably wouldn't care. Sometimes I'm more annoyed that companies aren't just direct. The direct case isn't even that bad: "Hey, so we have to sell ads to make our business work and feed our families. It's better for you and the advertiser if we can try to give you ads that you might like so we can waste less of your time and the advertisers bandwidth. There's nothing in it for us to mess with your important private info, and a world of legal and PR downside. We're just asking to take a peek at your interests so we can guess at what you might like."
You'd still be justified in saying "nope", but at least you'd feel like you were treated like not an idiot.
