We are all aware that websites track our every move - using the information for everything from saving us time with passwords to offering us ads for things we are interested in.
But do you know exactly what Google thinks about you?
A TikTok user named Trish has explained how to find out exactly what Google knows about you - or thinks it knows, reports The Mirror.
This includes what age range they think you are, your gender identity, marital status and parental status - as well as all sorts of topics you've Googled.
It will show what sort of sports or other activities you are interested in, the types of films, books and music you enjoy and other topics you are interested in - based on your internet search history.
Trish, who works in digital marketing, said: "If you've ever thought, 'huh, this is a weird ad for me to be seeing' there's actually a website that you can to, to see all of the assumptions Google has made about you, based on your previous searches."
All you need to do is log into your Google account then go to adssettings.google.com.
Trish said: "Here you'll be able to see every assumption Google has made about you and why you see the ads that you see."
However, if you're not keen on this, Trish adds: "You can turn off ad personalisation altogether."
More than six million people have watched Trish's video, with it garnering over one million likes and thousands of comments and shares.
Some people were "offended" by the assumptions Google had made about them
One wrote: "Offended that it called me single, even though I am in fact single."
"I'm most offended that it thinks I like country music," said another.
Someone else joked: "So apparently I'm married. I would love to meet my husband."
A different user commented: "It says I'm a parent of 6-12-year-olds. I am but they are dogs."
One asked: "Why am I so flattered that Google thinks I'm upper-middle class?"
