Large Majorities Say AdChoices Icon Is Useful and Easy to Understand, While Two-Thirds Say They Have Clicked the AdChoices Icon in Past

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The vast majority of Americans (88%) say they expect to get interest-based ads, and a record 85% recognize the blue triangular AdChoices icon that provides access to information and choices about those ads, according to a new survey conducted by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

Conducted earlier this month, the survey found most Americans can correctly identify what the AdChoices Icon does (58%); have clicked on it in the past (67%), and say they find it useful (78%) and easy-to-understand (85%).

“The best way to understand consumer preferences is simply to ask people what they like and want,” said Lou Mastria, President & CEO of the DAA. “This survey shows that record numbers of Americans recognize AdChoices, understand what it does, and consider it a useful tool to get information and choices about the types of digital advertising they receive and expect to receive. That strong support for AdChoices extends to the policymaking process, as large majorities of respondents expressed support for this type of cross-industry delivered pro-consumer icon-based approach and the role of independent watchdogs like the DAA’s AdChoices program.”

Among the findings of the survey:

  • Almost all respondents expect to get interest-based advertising (also known as targeted ads) with equal proportions saying they always (44%) or sometimes (44%) expect advertising to use information about their online interests to deliver relevant ads to them.
  • A record number (85%) recognize the AdChoices Icon — up 6% since the same question was asked in 2024 — with more than half saying they recognize it a great deal (52%) and a third saying somewhat (33%).
  • Most people (58%) understand what the icon does, correctly saying it gives a person information and choices about the types of ads they receive, a result up 5% since the last survey in 2024.
  • Two-thirds say they have clicked the AdChoices Icon in an ad, website, or app, with responses divided between regularly (23%), occasionally (28%), and once or twice (16%).
  • More than three-quarters (78%) say the AdChoices Icon is useful, the same as 2024, with respondents saying it is very (32%) or somewhat (46%) useful.
  • The vast majority (85%) said the AdChoices Icon is easy to understand, same as 2024, with respondents saying it is very (40%) or somewhat (45%) easy to understand.
  • More than three-quarters (78%) said the AdChoices Icon increases trust in the advertisers that use it, up 6% since 2024, with respondents saying it increased trust a great deal (22%) or somewhat (56%).
  • A similar proportion (82%) said it’s important to have access to simple icon-based information and choices about advertising, up 4% since 2024, with respondents saying it is very (40%) or somewhat (42%) important.
  • Americans strongly support the role of independent watchdogs like AdChoices in any new laws around advertising, with 87% saying any new laws should incorporate such watchdogs.

“Our goal at the DAA has always been to help responsible advertisers give American consumers the information and choice tools they need to control their advertising experience, and we are gratified by the overwhelmingly positive reaction we’ve seen both anecdotally and in these survey results to those efforts,” Mastria continued. “Working with our partners across the digital advertising industry, we have built the AdChoices Icon into one of the most recognized, trusted, and used consumer information and choice tools in history, and we look forward to continuing to update and improve it to meet consumer needs, regardless of the technological changes which may come to digital advertising media.”

The survey was conducted among 1,103 American adults via SurveyMonkey from February 19-20, 2026. Based on a confidence interval of 95 percent, the margin of error for the survey is +/- 3 percent.

Trump's confidante Steve Bannon says Scott Bessent should run both the Fed and Treasury

Trump's confidante Steve Bannon says Scott Bessent should run both the Fed and Treasury

Steve Bannon wants Scott Bessent to run the two most powerful economic arms of the U.S. government at once — the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. In a podcast interview on Friday, Steve told Sean Spicer that Scott should take over from Jerome Powell as Fed chair next year but still stay on as Treasury Secretary. The episode’s footage was obtained by CNBC’s Eamon Javers. “I am a big believer that on an interim basis, that Scott Bessent should be both the head of the Federal Reserve and the secretary of Treasury, and maybe get through the midterm elections, step down at Treasury and take over the Federal Reserve,” Steve said. Scott is already heading the search for Powell’s replacement when his term ends in May 2026. He was once thought to be a candidate himself, but publicly said he’s fine staying at Treasury. That hasn’t stopped Steve from pushing the idea anyway. Steve lasted only seven months as Trump’s White House strategist before getting fired. Still, he’s close to Trump and clearly feels comfortable tossing out these kinds of proposals. The White House, on the other hand, isn’t amused. “Such an arrangement is not being and has never been considered by the White House,” a spokesman said. The idea was immediately shut down. White House rejects plan as Scott leads search for Powell’s replacement There’s no real example of this happening before. Before the Banking Act of 1935, the Treasury Secretary did sit on the Fed’s board, but the chair role wasn’t created until later. Janet Yellen ran the Fed and then the Treasury, but those jobs were years apart. Scott doing both at once — even if temporary — would break that mold completely. Right now, Scott is running the process to find Powell’s successor. Reports say there are 11 names on the list. He was once on it too, until he said he wasn’t interested. Still, Steve thinks Scott should hold both posts until midterms, then leave Treasury and stay on as Fed boss. It’s not clear if anyone else in Trump’s circle supports that plan. Trump has repeatedly slammed the Fed for not slashing interest rates more. He wants a Fed that moves fast — his way. That pressure could be why Steve wants someone loyal like Scott at the top. But making him do both jobs, even for a few months, would raise serious legal, policy, and political questions. Fed’s Miran dismisses tariff inflation and calls for deeper rate cuts While Steve is pushing personnel moves, Fed Governor Stephen Miran is focused on policy. He voted against the Fed’s decision this week to cut rates by 0.25%. He wanted a 0.5% cut instead. Speaking on CNBC’s “Money Movers” Friday, Miran said he doesn’t think Trump’s tariffs will cause inflation. “I’m clearly in the minority in not being concerned about inflation from tariffs,” Miran said. “But that was also true in 2018-2019, and I think I probably could take a little victory lap about that.” He said he hasn’t seen any real evidence that tariffs are pushing up prices. “If you thought tariffs are driving inflation higher, you’d think imports would be differentially inflating at a higher pace,” he said. Miran also said the difference between inflation in U.S. core goods and other countries is tiny. “If I thought that tariffs were driving any material inflation in the United States, I’d look for evidence,” he added. Even so, the Fed’s own data says inflation is still above 2%, and might not fall back to target until 2028. Only Miran wanted the Fed to move faster on cutting rates. The rest of the 12-member committee didn’t agree, as Cryptopolitan reported. Want your project in front of crypto’s top minds? Feature it in our next industry report, where data meets impact.
