We partner with Mediavine to manage third-party and interest-based advertisements that appear on our website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit our website, which may include the use of 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 certain information about your browser activity on our Website.
First-party cookies are created by the website you visit. A third-party cookie is often used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain different from the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the website to monitor interaction with ad content and to target and optimize ads. Each Internet browser has functionality so you can block both first and third party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” function of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notifications of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies, and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please see the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see advertisements when you visit our Site. In case you opt out, you will still see non-personalized ads on the website.
We collect the following data using a cookie when serving personalized advertisements:
- IP address
- Type of operating system
- Operating system version
- Type of device
- Website language
- Type of web browser
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end-user information independently collected by the partner to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as ad IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers to provide interest-based ads about your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage information, 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 a particular website. Mediavine Partners can also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted ads.
