Advertising technology
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising
Policy text version 1.1
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioural advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimise advertising.
Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, receive notification of new cookies, disable existing cookies and clear your browser’s cache. For more information, visit All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit the Website. If you opt out, you will still see non-personalised advertisements.

Mediavine Partners may use this data to link to other end-user information that a partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers to provide interest-based advertising across devices, browsers and apps.
This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data and information about a visitor’s referral source. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs and audience segments used to provide targeted advertising.
You can use these resources to learn more about interest-based advertising and available opt-in or opt-out choices. For mobile apps, you may also use the platform controls on your device.
