How AdCurious Works

AdCurious provides a unique window into how advertisers see you online, turning the typically intrusive ad experience into an insightful and intentional one.

The AdCurious Concept
Flipping the traditional advertising model

Most people don't hate ads - they hate being interrupted. AdCurious flips the traditional model by creating a space where users intentionally come to see relevant ads. By making ad viewing voluntary and providing context about why you're seeing specific ads, we transform advertising from an intrusion into an insightful experience.

Your Digital Footprint
Understanding how you're tracked online

Every click, search, and page view contributes to your digital footprint. Advertisers use this data to build a profile of your interests, demographics, and behaviors. AdCurious helps you understand this profile by showing you the ads that would normally find you across the web, all in one place.

Ad Targeting Explained
How advertisers determine which ads to show you

AdCurious displays ads from various networks and explains why each ad is being shown to you. This transparency helps you understand how your online behavior shapes your ad experience. Whether it's based on your recent searches, websites you've visited, or demographic information, we provide context for each ad.

Privacy Control
Managing your digital footprint

AdCurious empowers you with tools to manage your digital footprint. Our Privacy Tools section provides guidance on clearing your cache, cookies, and search history across different browsers. By giving you control over your data, we help you shape the ads you see.

Digital Awareness
The bigger picture of online advertising

Beyond showing you ads, AdCurious aims to raise awareness about how the commercial internet perceives you. By understanding this digital persona, you gain insights into the algorithms and data collection practices that shape your online experience. This awareness is the first step toward more mindful digital consumption.
