NYTimes Recommendations creates a personalized list of recommendations, pointing you to NYTimes.com content we think you'll find interesting. Recommendations are based on what you've viewed on NYTimes.com (including the mobile site and apps).

To see your personalized recommendations page, visit http://www.nytimes.com/recommendations. You'll find an overview of your NYTimes.com viewing history, including the number of articles, blog posts, videos and slideshows you've viewed recently and lists of your top sections and topics.

Note: When you're not logged in, your recommendations are based on your browser history. If you haven't viewed enough content for accurate recommendations, the Recommended for You tab is labeled Most Viewed.

NYTimes Recommendations uses your viewing history on NYTimes.com, including the mobile site and apps, to identify your most-viewed topics and sections. Based on what you've viewed recently, NYTimes Recommendations suggests additional content you might like. The more time you spend on NYTimes.com, the more accurate the recommendations become.

There's nothing to set up or install — NYTimes Recommendations is an active part of the site. NYTimes Recommendations uses your viewing history to determine your top sections and topics. To get better recommendations, just keep browsing. New recommendations will appear as we analyze your viewing history.

New recommendations will appear as you browse NYTimes.com.

Yes. To remove an article from the list of recommendations, visit your personalized list of recommendations at http://www.nytimes.com/recommendations. Move your cursor to the headline or summary of the article you'd like to remove. Click the X that appears, and the article will be dismissed.
