Facebook has the ability to constantly show you product adverts and pages that supposedly are of interest to you, however it can often get it so wrong – until now.

Good news! You can now decide what you do and don’t like with the all-new “Advert Preference” option.

If you do this, Facebook will stop showing you everything you hate

The Advert Preferences option is a feature within your Facebook settings, which shows your likes divided in categories. This is how it looks:

preferences

By hovering over the subcategory, a cross will appear on the right-hand side. Once clicked, that category will be deleted from your preference list and you will no longer receive ads for that category. This is a great option if you’re getting overwhelmed with inappropriate ads, such as fast-food delivery when you’re actually trying to diet.

But, how about telling Facebook what you do like? Easy! You can add categories simply by searching in the search bar above:
