Does using COCO mean that I cannot receive personalized ads on my smartphone?
You are referring to the notion of data privacy. COCO enables data privacy, but how any particular solution uses data privacy is completely up to the implementation. If you wish to enable personalized ads through Google or Facebook or similar, there is nothing in COCO that is going to prevent that. We do believe however that using COCO, you may enjoy not being forced into sharing your data with central servers.
