On pacogelardo.com I manage advertising campaigns using the DoubleClick tool, which allows me to collect all information about my audience in a centralized way. DoubleClick uses cookies to improve advertising. Cookies are commonly used to target ads based on content relevant to a user, improve campaign performance reports, and avoid showing ads the user has already seen.

DoubleClick uses cookie IDs to keep a record of which ads have been shown in certain browsers. When publishing an ad in a browser, it can use that browser’s cookie ID to check which ads have already been shown in that particular browser. This is how it avoids showing ads the user has already seen. Likewise, cookie IDs allow DoubleClick to record conversions related to ad requests, such as when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and make a purchase.

As an Internet user, you can request the deletion of information about your browsing habits and the related profile generated by those habits, directly and free of charge, at any time by accessing: /www.google.com/settings/ads/preferences?hl=es. If a user disables this feature, DoubleClick’s unique cookie ID in the user’s browser is overwritten with the phrase “OPT_OUT”. Because a unique cookie ID no longer exists, the disabled cookie cannot be associated with a particular browser.

Can cookies be deleted?

Yes, and not only can you delete them, you can also block them, either generally or for a specific domain.
To delete the cookies from a website, go to your browser settings, where you can look for the ones associated with that domain and proceed to delete them.
