Publicity ads can then be presented to the visitor on those pages that relate to content which the visitor has previously called up on websites using the remarketing function of Google.

Nevertheless, should you not agree to Google’s remarketing function, generally you can deactivate it by making the corresponding settings at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
