I have logged in to my router settings and navigated to Block Sites to block Instagram and Facebook. However, it does not work.

 

Must I pay for Circle Premium to block websites? If so, what is the purpose of the Block Sites feature?

 

I am finding that some content (toys and outdoor wear) are appearing in the Instagram adverts of people within my household, which I cannot fathom. I thought that blocking those websites on the Wifi would mean Facebook could not track my cookies? Not sure how all this works, but as we approach Christmas I do not want Christmas presents which i search for, appearing on the recipients device as an advert.

 

Thanks in advance,
