For Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID.

The data resulting from this process may be transmitted by Google to a server in the United States for evaluation and storage. In the event that personal data is transferred to the United States, Google declares to be certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield Framework” agreement and to comply with the resulting obligations.
