The article's image shows, under Manage your privacy settings, the options:

  • Permissions you've given

  • Interest-based marketing (which is the option pertinent to this issue)

    • Interest-based marketing on PayPal
    • Interest-based marketing in your other accounts

  • Blocked contacts

  • Manage your cookies

    • Marketing
    • Performance
    • Functional
    • Essential

  • Blocked contacts
