Interest-Based Advertising

Advertising supports the free Internet. It is the primary way that most website and app publishers make money in order to produce the content consumers want. Not all advertising shown to consumers is relevant to their interests, though. Interest-based advertising is advertising that tries to make the ads you see more interesting and relevant to you based on the types of sites you visit online and other information that does not personally identify you. We conduct interest-based advertising on our website, and work with our clients to help them do the same on their websites and apps.

Without interested-based advertising, you will still see ads, but those ads are not likely to have anything to do with products or services you care about. With interest-based advertising, you receive ads and offers that are more likely to be useful to you.

There is also a second benefit to you: companies that create websites and apps rely on the revenue from interest-based advertising to support the rich array of content they produce. Without that revenue, the content would either be unavailable or consumers would have to pay for it.

For more information about the data we collect and how we use it, please refer to the MediaMath privacy policy.

To Opt Out

What does it mean to opt-out?
In general, “opting out” means that you want MediaMath to limit the information it collects and stores about your computer or device and to not target ads that are based on your interests to your browser or device. Your opt-out is only applicable to the MediaMath Platform and does not opt you out from platforms provided by third-party companies. However, you can out from both MediaMath and many third-party companies at once; to do so, please see “Other ways to opt out” below.

If you use multiple browsers, computers or mobile devices, and wish to limit the information MediaMath collects and stores or do not wish to receive MediaMath interest-based advertising on any of them, you must opt out from each browser, computer, and mobile device individually. Please note that if cookies are not enabled in your browser, or if you use certain ad-blocking tools, our opt-out mechanism may not work properly. Please also note that deleting your cookies does not opt you out.

When you opt out, we record the opt-out on our servers and in browser environments we will attempt to place an HTTP opt-out cookie onto your browser or device. When you opt out, MediaMath will collect and store information from your browser or device only as needed to honor your opt-out and for limited research and development purposes to improve our browser- and device-recognition technology, which also helps to improve our ability to honor your opt-out. When you opt out, MediaMath also stops targeting interest-based advertising to that browser. Please note that if you clear your cookies, or if you use a different browser or device, you will need to renew your opt-out choice.

You may opt out in mobile app environments using the “AppChoices” mobile application, which you can download to your mobile device from your App Store or via the Digital Advertising Alliance AppChoices page here.
