Nor I, on my in-Canada account. Desktop access only; I don’t have the Paypal app installed on my phone.

The article’s image shows, under Manage your privacy settings, the options:

• Permissions you’ve given

• Interest-based marketing (which is the option pertinent to this issue)

  • Interest-based marketing on PayPal
  • Interest-based marketing in your other accounts

• Blocked contacts

• Manage your cookies

  • Marketing
  • Performance
  • Functional
  • Essential

• Blocked contacts

It’s not a nitpick to know the meaning of the words we use, and how to use them. [email protected] and the arstechnica editors should know better.
