ONLINE ADVERTISING
- We work with online advertising networks, social media companies and advertising partners to tailor the ads played or displayed to you on other websites, apps, or services.
Online and social media advertising
- The ads you see online are tailored to your interests based on information collected about you, including information about your age, demographic, location, as well information about your internet usage over time, such as the websites you visit, the products and pages you view and the links you click on (including links in ads played or displayed to you).
- We may also display targeted advertising to you through third party social media platforms, such as Facebook. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our products while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics.
- Typically, the information required to direct this kind of advertising is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies. When you visit the Untamed Service, we will place cookies and similar tracking technologies on your device to:
- identify you and your device, and share this information with the relevant advertising networks, so that they can help us identify suitable target audiences for our advertising and serve you advertising based on the information those advertising networks (or the partners they work with) have about your internet usage history;
- collect information about how you use the Untamed Service, so that when you visit another website that works with the same advertising network as us, we can play you adverts for the Untamed Service which are tailored to the products and services you have previously viewed; and
- identify whether your visit to the Untamed Service or a purchase of our products through the Untamed Service was related to an advert shown to you on another website or on your social media account.
Controlling the ads you see online and on social media
- Please see the table at section 3.7 above of this privacy notice, for details of the information collected about your use of the Untamed Service for advertising purposes.
- Blocking cookies will mean that information about your use of the Untamed Service:
- will not be shared with advertising networks to allow us to target advertising on other websites;
- will not be used by us to tailor advertising on social media; and
- will not be used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by attributing purchases or visits to particular advertising partners, networks or social media.
- You will still get ads when you browse the internet or social media, and those ads may still be relevant to your interests. However, this will either be generic (i.e. not tailored to you) or based on target audiences (i.e., individuals sharing certain characteristics) rather than targeting based on your actual online activity. As a result, you may see advertising targeted to your location, demographic or other information in your social media profile or the websites you visit even if you reject cookies on the Untamed Service.
