Online behavioural advertising is also known as interest-based advertising. It is a way of serving advertisements that are more relevant to your interests on websites visited by you.

Shared interests are grouped together based on your previous web browsing activity. This allows us to display advertising that is relevant and useful to you.

Advertising can also be delivered to you based on the website content you’ve just been viewing. This is called retargeting.

When you visit our website and navigate to other websites, we may leverage the cookies we have in place and our partnerships with online advertisers and social media networks in order to serve you with targeted advertising and/or to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement.

We collect the following information about you for such purposes: IP address or other unique identifiers, mobile carrier, time zone setting, operating system and platform.

You may opt out of the use of cookies if you do not want to be retargeted or your advertising to be tailored.

Please note: Opting out, however, does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the company or companies from which you opted out will no longer serve you advertising that is tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns. You may instead see more advertising that is not as relevant to your preferences.

13.9. OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH ADVERTISING NETWORKS

We only share your data with advertising networks in the strictest confidence for the unique purpose of serving more relevant advertising.

We have established standards to ensure that you'll only be served appropriate advertising.

Please note that opting out through these mechanisms may not entirely stop all targeted ads, as it relies on cookies and similar technologies. The Opt-Out mechanisms are as follows:

1) Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA):

You can visit the DAA's WebChoices tool (https://optout.aboutads.info/) where you can see which participating companies are collecting data for interest-based advertising on your browser.

You can select specific companies or opt out of all participating companies. This sets an opt-out cookie in the browser, signaling those companies to stop collecting data for interest-based advertising.

2) Network Advertising Initiative (NAI):

You can visit the NAI's opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) to view which member companies are tailoring ads based on your data.

You can opt out of tracking by selecting individual companies or opting out of all at once. An opt-out cookie is placed in the browser to notify companies of your preference.

3) European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA):

If you are a user in EEA, please visit the EDAA's Your Online Choices website (https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/) to manage your preferences.
