5. Mediavine Programmatic Advertising
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first- and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember information about your browsing activity.
First-party cookies are created by the Website. Third-party cookies are frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and are created by a domain other than the Website. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising.
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may use this data to link to other end-user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers, and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to the Website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt-out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Your Online Choices website to learn more about interest-based advertising.
