The UK web version definitely doesn't have any such link for me.

  1. Side bar --> You Account (see all)
  2. Scroll down to Account Settings --> Shopping Preferences

It was pretty accurate about my interests which I saw no problem with ("prefers reliable open source ecosystems"), but took issue with it guessing the size of my family, so I updated it to say that I live in an underground bunker with 10 others in a polycule.

I also updated my halloween decoration preferences to suggest I fight crime at night

Can't wait to see what my next searches are like 👀

There's no "account settings" in the "your account" page. There's no "see all", and there's also no "shopping preferences". I assume you're being served a different page to me.

I found it on the UK web version but I had to use the browser's search function to find it on the page.

It had nothing, which I'm hoping because I've previously opted out of analytics?

I used the search (the ctrl-f search) and found nothing

Either they're A/B testing, or you're on the wrong page
