Whenever someone in our family gets a new cellphone, we notice that the ads change - not just on their phone, but on our computers as well. I think Google's ad system cross-references profiles and links people together.

Anyway, on a recent new phone, we had to manually block the microphone permission from Google services because turning "active listening" and "assistant" off did not disable "OK Google" on the phone - showing that active listening was still on.

There are also jammer apps you can get to disable your microphone.
