PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT OR PROCESS

The Services automatically capture some information about you using background local storage and session storage technologies, such as cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”). Cookies are small files or other pieces of data stored on your device, which can be tied to information about your use of the Services. Examples of this type of information include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit on the Website, and details of your transaction activity, such as the amount, date, and time for each transaction. We may use “session” Cookies that last until you close your browser or “persistent” Cookies that last until you or your browser delete them. You may change your browser settings to decline the use of Cookies.

MEDIAVINE PROGRAMMATIC ADVERTISING (VER 1.1)

The Website partners with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Mediavine uses first and third-party cookies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the Website. A cookie is a small text file sent to your 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, often used in behavioral advertising and analytics, are created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. These cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality to block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Rejecting cookies may limit the functionality of the Website, but it does not mean that you will no longer see ads. You will still see non-personalized advertisements if you opt-out of cookies.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners may also use this data to link to other end-user information independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. They may also collect data from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to Mediavine publishers’ data to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and visitor referral source information. Mediavine Partners may create unique IDs to create audience segments for targeted advertising.

For more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out, please visit the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page. You may also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website and the Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more about interest-based advertising.

Each social media provider has its own terms of use and privacy policies, which we recommend you review whenever you access their sites or interact with their services.

We also collect information that you provide voluntarily, such as when you sign up for newsletters, contact us by email or via the Website, or leave comments on the Website, in which case your username and comments will be shared publicly.
