Managing browsing history within the Target application involves removing previously viewed items. This action eliminates the digital footprint of examined products, effectively resetting the product recommendation algorithm. For example, after exploring gift ideas, a user might choose to remove these items to prevent targeted advertisements or recommendations related to those products.
Maintaining a clean browsing history offers several advantages, including increased privacy, more relevant product suggestions based on current interests, and a less cluttered shopping experience. Historically, retailers have employed various methods for tracking customer behavior. The evolution of mobile applications has introduced new levels of personalization and data collection, making history management tools increasingly important for user control and data privacy.
