9. Digital Advertising, Marketing and Research

Our commitment to maintaining your privacy extends to how we manage advertising, marketing and research/analytics activity in different digital environments you may see or use on computers, mobiles and tablets (defined below as “sites”).

We are involved in advertising on our Website and on third-party websites.

We participate as a marketer, for example, we place our own advertisements on 3rd party sites, and as a publisher where we generate revenue by displaying other parties’ advertising on our sites or by introducing you to 3rd parties in other ways.

Please note, we are only responsible for the way in which we deal with your personal information and not for the way in which any other person or party deals with your information.

10. Interest-Based Profiling

When you browse our Website and those of our partners or affiliates, we may collect data about your activity on these sites such as the amount of time you spent on each site, the pages you viewed and the advertisements you viewed on those sites. If you show interest in a particular topic across multiple sites we may tailor advertising or content to you based on an assumed interest in this topic.

This is usually enabled by the use of website pixels or cookies or publically available advertising identifiers provided by operating systems like iOS and Android (you can opt-in or out of sharing these in the settings of your device or browser). During this process, we do not collect or use any information that could identify you as an individual, just a basic history of sites visited. The information is used not only to support digital advertising, but to improve your browsing experience.

Cookies are small, encrypted, text files that sites may place on your device, usually within your browser. Sites may use cookies to improve browsing experiences like remembering login details, what content the user is interested in and other preferences in general. Cookies are used by most sites. While you browse those sites, we can use cookies to gather information about your site use, such as the amount of time you spent on each site and your content preferences. This information is then sent back to the originating site and other authorised services each time you revisit these sites.

If you are concerned about the use of cookies, there are several ways to delete and/or block cookies. You can choose to delete (or ‘clear’) all the cookies currently stored by your browser via your browser tools. You can also use your browser tools to block and permanently disable cookies. This will prevent you from using all services that rely on cookies until you allow your browser to start accepting cookies again. It will also prevent some types of digital advertising from occurring. Alternatively, you can download tools which will increase your awareness of which cookies are being left on your computer and decide which cookies to permit and which to block.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE OR OTHER INFORMATION YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT IN FORUMS SUCH AS A BULLETIN BOARD, CHAT ROOM OR ANY OTHER PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AREA OF THE SITES OR OUR WEBSITE.
