Google ads think I’m Turkish since I came back from holiday

[-Pete-]

I took my iPad and iPhone on holiday to Turkey in August and now get Turkish ads, and frequently get asked to log-in to Google “to get the best experience”. Today’s advert on Tripadvisor says VIATOR REHBERLIK HIZMETINDE - INDIRIM and is sponsored by VISA.

That might be a great if I were Turkish, or if wanted to learn the language

How do I stop this? I’ve tried clearing cookies & history, I’ve tried logging in to Google and setting my Language to English - it already was. I’ve been using internet abroad for over 25 years and never had this problem before.

Thanks.

Do you have an urge to open a barber's shop ?

Hopefully for the OP's sake it hasn't progressed that fair - the early stages of Acute Turkosis (for example, putting yoghurt on food, using lots of aftershave, growing a neatly trimmed beard) are usually self-limiting after a few weeks, while the later stages (feeling cold unless it's scorching hot) can usually be cured by the standard treatment of cold rain, warm ale and good old British Beef.
In the later, chronic stages where the patient experiences an uncontrollable urge to give everyone the same haircut and barbecue meat, the prognosis is unfortunately poor.

OMG… perhaps I am becoming Turkish! I suppose at least the food will be good.
{But anybody know how I can stop getting the adverts?}

Weirdly, in this very thread I have an ad demanding that I buy a TV license- in Spanish. I haven't been to Spain for 25 years.

Have you had one of those DNA tests done?

Dutch friend did so recently and found 30% Scandinavian heritage.

Maybe you are Turkish and just not realised?

Mines thinks I'm Romanian. I've never been.

Those Captcha things, always in Romanian. Accept cookies, yep Romanian.

No idea how it happened or how to change it.

I'm truly wonderful, thank you for asking. I'm a bit concerned about my waistline after scoffing all these sweet treats though, but it was worth it.

Funny you mention that because that's what I think is sending my phone haywire.
