4. Mediavine Programmatic Advertising

This 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-party 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 you are visiting. Third-party cookies are used in behavioral advertising and analytics and are created by a domain other than the Website you are visiting.

Mediavine Partners (listed at https://www.mediavine.com/ad-partners/) may use this data to link to other end-user information they have 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 or websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments for targeted advertising.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at http://optout.aboutads.info/.
