Choices expressed online through industry platforms

You may visit www.youronlinechoices.com, a platform provided by digital advertising professionals brought together within the European association EDAA (European Digital Advertising Alliance) and operated in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.

You will be able to identify the companies registered on this platform that offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting the Cookies used by those companies to adapt advertisements that may be displayed on your Device based on your Browsing Information: www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

This European platform is shared by hundreds of Internet advertising professionals and provides a centralised interface through which you can express your refusal or acceptance of Cookies that may be used to adapt advertisements displayed on your Device based on its Browsing.

Please note that this procedure will not prevent advertisements from being displayed on the websites you visit. It will only block the technologies used to adapt advertisements to your interests.

3. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF SEEING ADVERTISEMENTS ADAPTED TO YOUR BROWSING?

The purpose is to present you with advertisements that are as relevant as possible. To this end, Cookie technology makes it possible to determine in real time which advertisement should be displayed on a Device, based on its recent Browsing on one or more websites.

Your interest in the advertising content displayed on your Device when you visit a website often determines the website’s advertising resources, enabling it to operate services that are frequently provided to users free of charge.

You probably prefer to see advertisements that correspond to your interests rather than advertisements that are of no interest to you. Similarly, Advertisers wishing to have their advertisements displayed are interested in presenting their offers to users who are likely to be most interested in them.

4. SHARING THE USE OF YOUR DEVICE WITH OTHER PEOPLE

If your Device is used by several people, and where the same Device has several browser software applications, we cannot ensure with certainty that the services and advertisements intended for your Device correspond to your own use of that Device rather than that of another user of the same Device.

Where applicable, sharing the use of your Device with other people and configuring your browser settings regarding Cookies are matters of your own choice and responsibility.

5. GLOSSARY

"Cookie(s)": means a text file that may, subject to your choices, be stored in a dedicated area of your Device’s hard drive when you access an online service using your browser software.

"Browsing Information": means information relating to the connection of a Device to an electronic communications service at a given time.

This Browsing Information includes, in particular:

• the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the Device connected to the Internet;
• the date and time when a Device connects to an electronic communications service;
• the Internet address of the web page from which the Device accessing an electronic communications service originated (the “referrer”);
• the type of operating system used by the Device (Windows, macOS, Linux, Unix, BeOS, etc.);
• the language used by the browser software on the Device, the identifier and content of a Cookie stored by us on the Device.

"Personal Data": means data relating solely to you at a given time, irrespective of the Device you use.

"Device": means the hardware equipment (computer, tablet, smartphone, telephone, etc.) that you use to access or view a website, application, advertising content, etc.

"Advertiser": generally means any company or organisation that uses various communication techniques to promote its reputation, image, products or services.

"Advertising Network": means the entity or company responsible for marketing advertising spaces on behalf of one or more Publishers/Distributors: website publishers, mobile application publishers, etc.
Advertising Networks may:

• design advertising offers that generate revenue for the Publisher/Distributor and themselves, while providing greater effectiveness for the Advertiser;
• implement technological solutions and partnerships enabling them to collect information relating to the Browsing and/or location of the same Device (computer, smartphone) across one or several thousand advertising media (websites, mobile service platforms, mobile applications) for which they act as direct or indirect intermediaries.

"Publisher/Distributor": means the publishing medium hosting content (website, mobile website or mobile application) that has advertising spaces which it seeks to monetise under the best possible financial and ergonomic conditions by inserting advertising content, in order to finance its activities, including the publication of services, content or information (for example, an online press publication).
In order to promote its advertising spaces and obtain better remuneration for them, the Publisher/Distributor must be able to demonstrate an audience in order to populate its spaces with advertising content adapted to that audience.
It may use one or more Advertising Networks to monetise its spaces. Where applicable, these Advertising Networks may implement, in the advertising spaces they market to Advertisers, counting mechanisms and, where they have such capabilities, mechanisms for adapting the content they display or distribute on the Publisher/Distributor’s website.

"Targeted Advertising Provider": means a company that uses technologies – in particular Cookies and/or probability or propensity algorithms – enabling it to assist an Advertising Network, Advertiser or communications consultancy agency in determining the advertisement that appears most appropriate based on Browsing Information relating to a Device or Personal Data relating to a user, according to the information it processes or that is made available to it by one of these parties.

"Targeted Advertising": means the ability to adapt advertising content to Browsing Information or Personal Data.

"Behavioural Advertising": means advertising that consists of inferring users’ presumed interests from information relating to their Device’s Browsing on one or more services, in order to display advertisements specifically adapted to them and presumed to be of greater interest to them than other advertisements.
The implementation of this type of advertising depends, on the one hand, on the technologies used and the parties implementing them and, on the other hand, on whether or not a “tracking identifier” associated with a Device (such as a “Cookie” file) is available and whether or not such a “tracking identifier” can be shared with third parties.

"Personalised Advertising": means advertising selected based on known characteristics of the Internet user (age, gender, contact details, etc.) that the user has provided themselves, for example when registering for a service.
The implementation of this form of targeted advertising may result either from declarative information provided by a user that is insufficient to identify them (age, gender, preferences, interests), or from the processing of Personal Data.
In the latter case, it must be assessed in light of the regulations relating to the protection of Personal Data, including by informing Internet users, when they provide Personal Data relating to them, of the purposes of the processing, in particular the adaptation of advertising content that may be displayed to them.
