I’m taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that’s easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you’d have to request from advertisers themselves? (AdSense etc?) Or maybe do the service providers (mentioned before) store that data?

Forgive my ignorance - still learning about this stuff!

    The data is for sale, so you should be able to buy it. Good luck buying only one person’s data though.

      Also the data is anonymized.

      Data researchers have shown that the data can be de-anonymized, but it won’t be trivial for OP to do
