Privacy checkup: Limit Ad Tracking up 216% on iOS, but down 85% on Android (March 2020)
That makes sense as I didn't even know there was such a setting in Android.
It is under Settings - Google - Ads - "Opt out of Ads Personalization".
There is also an option on that page to "Reset advertising ID". The Google Advertising ID (GAID), from what I understand, is a way for advertisers to track your ad-related activity across different apps.
That said, I'm leaving the personalization on for now, as I use very few apps with ads, and don't recall being annoyed by any at the moment.
