Online Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising

On our Site and App, we and third parties may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising and products and services tailored to your interests. This section of our Privacy Statement provides details and explains how to exercise your choices.

You may see our ads on other websites or mobile apps based on your visits to the Site or App because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users considering demographic data, users’ inferred interests and browsing context. These networks track users’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other similar technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing activities. The information our ad networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and the actions taken on the websites. Accordingly, we and our third-party vendors may collect information about our visitors’ online activities, over time and across third-party websites. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. To learn about how to opt out of interest-based advertising in the U.S., click here. On your mobile device, your device settings may allow you to prohibit mobile app platforms (such as Apple and Google) from sharing certain information obtained by automated means with app developers such as RQ 2Give.
