Manage Social Advertising

LinkedIn recently added an option to include your name and photo into advertising. The option is enabled by default and somewhat out of the way in terms of turning it off, so here’s how to disable it.

1. Hover over your name in the upper right-hand corner and click ‘Settings’.
2. Click ‘Account’ on the bottom left-hand side.
3. Under ‘Privacy Controls’, click ‘Manage Social Advertising’.
4. Uncheck the box labeled “LinkedIn may use my name, photo in social advertising” and click ‘Save’.
5. You should receive a confirmation bar near the top.
