When you're signed in to your BBC account, the whole BBC website becomes more personalised to you. It means we can:
- Send you personalised programme recommendations based on what you’ve listened to
- Remember how far through a programme you are, so you can pick up where you left off
With personalisation, you can also subscribe to your favourite programmes or bookmark episodes via My Sounds.
How do I turn off personalisation?
You can turn off personalisation in your BBC account settings. For more information on how to do this, visit the Using the BBC website.
Bear in mind, it may take a little while for any changes you make to come into effect. But you can speed things up by signing out of your BBC account and signing back in again.
Under 13 years of age?
If you’re under 13, personalisation will be turned off by default. To turn it on, you’ll need to link your BBC account with a parent or guardian's account and get their permission. The same goes if you want to turn it back off again. Visit the Using the BBC website for help with child accounts.
What happens if I turn off personalisation?
You won’t get personalised recommendations any more.
Turning off personalisation will also affect various other parts of the BBC. You can find out more about personalisation across the BBC here.
