Pinterest Personalization and What it Means for You

July 15, 2014 by CreativeIncome 1 Comment

Pinterest Personalization If you have been on Pinterest lately you may have noticed that your Pinterest feed looks different than it did in the past.

That is because Pinterest added a new “personalization” setting to your account. Which means you will see images from pinners that you haven’t even followed.

Here’s how it works:

  1. When you go to a Pinterest-infused site, Pinterest uses a cookie to note the visit.
  2. The next time you sign onto Pinterest, Pinterest reads the cookie and uses the info to personalize your experience.
  3. Pinterest deletes this data after 30 days, which is about as long as we think info like this is useful for personalizing your experience.

  1. Go to “Settings”
  2. Click on “Business Account Basics”
  3. Click the button that says “Your Activity on Pinterest”
  4. Click on “Clear Recent Searches”
  5. Click on ” Save Settings” at the bottom of the page.

That’s all there is to it. So the question is… will you keep your Pinterest feed with the personalization pins or make it go back to the way it was?
