You may have heard of the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada. While not letting you opt-out of advertising entirely, it lets you opt-out of interest-based ads so basically they're not sharing information with other advertising companies or within their own network. I find that really creepy. The app does it for ads on your phone. You'll find it and the other opt-out tools here:
