OK, you said "settings", those are not settings.
Dismissing any tile, including the recommendations tile, should survive a restart. It does here on all my devices. If it doesn't, that is usually a sign that the database is corrupt. And you should be able to dismiss individual recommendations. When you view them, there should be a "Not interested" at the bottom. Tapping that will mark the book. Closing and reopening the recommendations will remove the book from the list.
New books do get added to the home screen. And removing purchased book without removing the tile will mark it as being in the cloud. Tapping it will download. And will probably have it synced from the Kobo desktop when you connect. And again, if the tiles reappear after a reboot, the database is probably corrupt.
