Advertising
Only in connected mode,
by default your TV uses an advertising identifier to track your TV usage. You
can change the privacy settings on your TV in two ways: resetting the advertising identifier and limiting
ad tracking.
Reset the advertising identifier
Resetting the advertising identifier clears the prior usage history that your TV stores, and then begins
tracking again. From that point forward, your new usage patterns affect the advertisements you see on
your TV.
