How We Work with Mediavine to Show You Relevant Ads
The Website partners with Mediavine via Journey, an advertising company, to manage the interest-based ads you see during your visit. When you browse the Website, Mediavine may use both first-party and third-party cookies to deliver content and advertisements. A cookie is a harmless, tiny text file that a web server places on your computer or mobile device. It allows a website to recall certain details about your browsing activity, like your preferences, so the experience feels more seamless on return visits.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are actively on. Third-party cookies come from a domain outside of the one you are visiting, and they are commonly used in behavioral advertising and analytics. In addition to cookies, Mediavine and its partners may use tags, pixels, beacons, and similar tracking technologies (collectively called “Tags”) on the Website. These Tags help monitor how you interact with advertising content, refine ad targeting, and measure ad performance.
You have full control over how cookies behave on your device. Every major internet browser includes settings that let you block both first and third-party cookies, clear your browser’s cache, and control how new cookies are accepted. Check the “help” section of your browser’s menu bar for step-by-step guidance. The website All About Cookies is also a helpful resource. If you choose to disable cookies, please understand that some features and content on the Website may not work as smoothly. Rejecting cookies does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; it simply means the ads you see will no longer be personalized based on your browsing behavior.
When personalized ads are shown, the Website uses a cookie to collect a limited set of data. The specific data points include the following:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in a hashed, non-readable form)
Mediavine’s advertising partners (the companies listed by Mediavine with whom data is shared) may use this collected data to connect it with other end-user information they have gathered independently in order to deliver targeted advertisements. These partners might also collect separate data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and combine that with data collected from Mediavine publishers. The result is interest-based advertising that can reach you across different devices, browsers, and apps. The information involved often includes usage data, cookie identifiers, device specifications, details about interactions between users and advertisements or websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and referral source information. Some partners create unique IDs to form audience segments for even more relevant ad targeting.
For a clear understanding of this practice and to exercise your choices regarding data collection, you can visit the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page. The Digital Advertising Alliance website and the Network Advertising Initiative website are also excellent resources for learning about interest-based advertising. If you want to opt out within mobile apps, download the AppChoices app from the Digital Advertising Alliance, or use your mobile device’s built-in platform controls to limit tracking. For specific details about each Mediavine partner, the data they collect, and their individual privacy policies, review the Mediavine Partners page directly.
