On the first launch of a given profile I'm getting a modal pop-up window that says this:

> Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome [this is bold, centered, and larger font]

> We’re launching new privacy features that give you more choice over the ads you see.

> Chrome notes topics of interest based on your recent browsing history. Also, sites you visit can determine what you like. Later, sites can ask for this information to show you personalized ads. You can choose which topics and sites are used to show you ads.

> [a graphic]

> To measure the performance of an ad, limited types of data are shared between sites, such as the time of day an ad was shown to you.

> More about ads in Chrome [V]

> You can make changes in Chrome settings

> ["Settings" and "Got it" buttons]

Clicking the V-looking thingy next to "More about ads in Chrome" expands that to add this:

> More useful ads [that is in bold]

> Sites can ask Chrome for information to help personalize the ads you see.

> • Chrome notes topics of interest based on your recent browsing history.

> • Sites you visit can also determine what you like based on your activity on the site. For example, if you visit a site that sells long-distance running shoes, the site might decide that you’re interested in running marathons.

> Later, a site you visit can ask for this information — either your ad topics or ads suggested by sites you’ve visited.

> Chrome auto-deletes topics and sites that suggest ads within 30 days. Or you can block specific topics and sites you don’t like.

> Measuring how well an ad performs [that is in bold]

> Sites you visit can ask Chrome for information to help them measure the performance of their ads. Chrome lets sites collect limited types of data, such as the time of day an ad was shown to you.
