They got me pretty much spot on except for the age range (I'm older than they think).

I just cleared my history over the weekend, so a bit lacking. And WRONG you bastard Google, I'm only mid-twenties but have the mind (read: lack of "fun" - read: boring) of a 60 year old!

No interest or demographic categories are associated with your ads preferences so far.

No flash is allowed, unless it's absolutely necessary for me to see something on a page. Cookies are deleted when I close the browser. FLASH cookies are ALSO deleted when I close the browser. Sites like ad-click, etc., are blocked. And, I'm not sure how it happens - google-analytics keeps having permission to load stuff on pages; (I suspect my wife?) - but every time I notice it, I block it again.

Pretty close except for the Latin music thing. Surprised there's nothing about motorcycles in there considering my browsing history for the last 4 years.

Er, I guess not, I'm not seeing it say anything other than a bunch about how they track stuff and blah blah blah, but nothing specific to me.

I use NoScript and never allow Google Analytics though so that's probably why.
