Google hides it uses your personal data to deliver targeted ads and maybe there is a reason google doesn’t brag and Apple does.
Targeted ads are connected to an Advertising ID Number and grouped together with a large number of other Advertising ID Numbers with similar demographics. It's the same method of anonymizing as Apple uses for their targeted ad program.

The grouping and segments can be far more detailed with Google since they have more background data to use for determining interests than Apple has chosen to access. That can change if market conditions and technology do.

Thank you for a cogent reply. However trying to inject logic and rational in the middle of a snipe-fest is a demanding task indeed.
