How long does Taboola take to remove my information?

About 21 days, once they have your request. If nothing has changed after that, send it again — a request that goes unanswered is common and is not a refusal.

Do I have to prove who I am to opt out of Taboola?

Yes. Taboola verifies the request by email before they will act on it.

Does it cost anything to opt out of Taboola?

No. Opting out is free and you can do it yourself — the steps above are the whole process. Nobody needs to be paid to send this request.

What does Taboola publish about me?

The listing can carry your phone’s advertising ID, the internet address you connect from, tracking cookies from sites you visited and what you look at online. Not every listing carries all of it.

Will Taboola put my listing back?

It can come back. Taboola rebuilds listings from fresh public records, so a removal is a point in time rather than a permanent state. That is how the industry works, and it is why the request has to be sent again when it happens.

Then it happens again

Opting out of Taboola does not stop the next company, and it does not stop Taboola rebuilding your listing from a fresh property record or voter file later. That is not a trick; it is how the industry works. We have catalogued 712 of these companies, and being removed from one of them is one of 712.

Doing it by hand is genuinely possible. Keeping it done is the part almost nobody sustains, and that is the only honest reason to pay anyone for this.
