View Companies and Criteria Used to Serve Ads on Chrome
Our new Ads Transparency Spotlight (Alpha) extension for Chrome is part of our ongoing initiative to give people more visibility into the data used to personalize ads and more control over that data.
The extension includes the criteria used to show these ads, the ad tech companies helping to display these ads, and the ad platform companies serving these ads on a web page. It also lists all companies and services with a presence on the page (for example, content delivery networks or analytics providers). We are currently exploring other controls for users.
Our initial goal is to provide a tool for transparency into the criteria being used to show ads. Your feedback on this early version will help us shape the future versions of the extension.
Our ultimate goal is to support a more transparent ad ecosystem globally.
We hope you’ll try the extension and give us feedback so that we can continue to improve it.
Features:
• View detailed information about the ads on a web page
• View a list of ad providers responsible for delivering ads to the page
• View all companies and services that have a presence on the page (for example, content delivery networks or analytics providers), regardless of who has implemented the schema.
• View the reasons why ads are shown on a page
