If a user deactivates the analysis cookies, every event in Google Analytics is blocked and therefore no information will be collected regarding any further actions of the user on the website.
The deactivation of analysis cookies, even if the advertising cookies where accepted, means that the user will be unable to receive advertisements through the Google Network, since advertisements are always linked to analysis cookies.

This means that if you start navigating through the website, after having enabled the advertising cookies, you may participate in the advertising groups according to your visits, for the period of time they are enabled. When you choose to disable them, no more information will be collected from the website and therefore no advertisement will be shown again.
