You may come across such ads when you’re viewing a website, video, or app on Google’s Display Network. In addition to seeing ads based on your interests, you may also see ads based on the types of sites you visit, whether you +1 something, and more.

Oops…Barwell got a far more interesting advert than LabourList did:
