Same options are on PW2, firmware 5.6.1.0.2
They are hidden here:
Settings/Device Options/Personalize your Kindle/Advanced options/Special Offers.

Here they are:
1. Special Offer Filtering (hide some inappropriate offers)
2. Special Offers Recommendations (display personalized offers based on items you've browsed or purchased.

I set SO recommendations to off and now I'm getting 99% of book offers.
When recommendation were on I was getting mostly very boring suggestions. Now I'm a happy camper again, no predefined set of classic faces on my screen, no window tinting/cleaning offers, and new book ideas every day
