Information We Collect

Anonymous User Information (Data)

Non-personal information is any information that does not personally identify you. We obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide to us (anonymous information may be automatically provided to our Web servers by your computer). This information is collected when Publishers, advertisers, and ad networks use the Adkernel Platform.

Additionally, certain other information (such as cookies, described below) may be transmitted by our Web server to your computer. That information does not contain any personally identifiable information. Specific types of anonymous information are described below:

User Information

As part of our ad delivery and reporting, we log page views and bid requests and collect information for the purpose of delivering ads or providing advertising-related services, including providing a specific advertisement based on a particular type of browser or time of day; statistical reporting in connection with the activity on a Web site; and tracking the number of ads served on a particular day to a particular Web site(tracking web analytics data). To do so, we collect information about the type of browser, referrer and operating system of Web site visitors, as well as the domain name, day and time of visit, and page(s) visited. We do so across multiple Web domains owned or operated by different entities (each, a “Site”).

Interest Based Advertising

Interest-based (behavioral) advertising gives advertisers the chance to show ads that are relevant to you based on your online web browsing behavior. With interest-based advertising, you receive ads and offers that are more likely to be useful to you. Advertisers may also use other information they have or acquire about users’ interests. Users have choices with respect to this type of advertising, as discussed below. You can opt-out of interest-based advertising. If you choose to opt-out you will still see ads, but it is more likely those ads won’t be relevant to you. Interest-based advertising does not depend on information that is personally identifiable to you, such as your name, address, phone number, etc.

OPT-OUT

When you opt-out, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your web browser. The Adkernel Platform will know the choice you have made when it sees your opt-out cookie, and will apply your choice to all ads served by the Adkernel Platform. If you block or delete the opt-out cookie, the Platform will not see your choice.

  • The opt out cookie may not work if your browser is configured to block third-party cookies.
  • If you delete your cookies, you will need to opt out again. There are browser plugins to help you preserve your opt out cookies.
  • The opt out only applies to the browser in which you set it. For example, if you set the opt out while using Firefox, but then use Chrome, the opt out will not be active in Chrome. To opt out in Chrome, you will need to repeat the opt out process.
  • The opt out does not block or delete cookies, or prevent the use of cookies or other technologies for purposes other than selecting ads based on your interests as inferred by your online behavior. If you opt out, data may still be collected about your web browsing activities and you will still see advertising. Ads may be selected, for example, based on the content of the web page in which they are shown. If you wish to block or delete cookies altogether, you can use web browser settings to do so.
