>> essentially when I do a Google search for something am I consenting to see ads for that thing?

> ... yes?

My problem with this isn't that I see ads when I do the Google search. My personal problem is that the information is then added to my advertising profile and I see those ads everywhere else, too.

Maybe I was brainwashed by too many Mullvad advertisements. [1] (joking)
