Overview

Features & Capabilities

Protect My Choices (PMC) is a Chrome extension from AdChoices that helps preserve the opt-out choices you set through the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices. It prevents accidental deletion of the cookies used to store those preferences and supports your control over interest-based advertising.

PMC 2.0 (beta) expands beyond cookies by enabling browser-based signals to honor your choices without relying on third-party cookies. It does not block ads, and it applies to WebChoices and related tools (YourAdChoices Token Tool, AppChoices). The extension relies on first-party cookies that expire after seven days, and your preferences only apply to the specific browser where PMC is installed. As more companies join the DAA program, their opt-outs will be added; periodically review and update your choices, and if upgrading from PMC 1.0 to 2.0, prior selections will be imported.

User Reviews

Most reviews report reliability issues with Protect My Choices, especially the Safari extension that endlessly loads or fails to function, preventing access to opt-out preferences. Privacy concerns about data collection and history access are common. A few users note modest mobile usability and the ability to submit opt-out requests on the mobile site after downloading, but overall reliability appears to be the main issue.
Pros
  • Easy to use and navigate on iPhone
  • Allows making opt-out requests on the mobile website after downloading
Cons
  • Safari extension frequently doesn’t work and gets stuck loading (endless spinner)
  • Extension cannot load or view saved opt-out preferences
  • Extension stopped working or is unusable for many users
  • Privacy concerns: data collection and requirement to access browsing history
