Creators who are part of the YouTube Partner Program can turn off personalized ads in YouTube Studio.
To turn off personalized ads:
- Sign in to YouTube Studio.
- Note: Any content that’s marked as made for kids will automatically have personalized ads turned off.
- Click Settings.
- Click Channel.
- Click Advanced settings.
- Scroll to the bottom section Advertisements.
- Check the box for Disable interest-based ads.
- If you select this option, personalized ads will not be shown on videos on your channel, such as ads based on a viewer's interests or remarketing ads. Ads without personalization will continue to be shown. Keep in mind that making this change may significantly reduce your channel's revenue. In addition, earned action reports and remarketing lists will stop working for your channel.
Creators also have the option to block ads from appearing on their channel.
