Mediavine works with this site to support the delivery of ads that align with your interests. It collects information about your online activities and browsing information, including websites you visit, pages you view, search terms, the apps you use, the language and device you use, location, and emails from newsletter sign ups. This information is then passed to partners to enable them to display interest based advertising to you.

This Notice is specific to Mediavine and explains how Mediavine collects, uses, shares, or sells your personal information when you visit this site or sign up for a newsletter managed by Mediavine. This website must disclose any collection, use, sharing or sale of personal data beyond the services provided by Mediavine in its own privacy notice (above) and comply with relevant privacy laws.

What personal data does Mediavine collect?

Mediavine may collect:

IP Address (unique address that identifies your computer or phone on the internet)
Location (country, city, state)
Operating System (e.g., Windows or Mac)

When you visit this site, Mediavine uses cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels and tags, to collect information about your behavior on this site and other websites you visit, across your devices. These tools track preferences, website visits and activities, interactions with emails and ads, and evaluate effectiveness of emails and ads and record which ads have been shown to you to enable the delivery of interest based ads on this site. To learn more, please visit allaboutcookies.org, ICO – What are cookies and similar technologies, or this explainer on cookies, pixels and tags.

In some cases, Mediavine may manage this site’s newsletter. Mediavine collects your email directly from you through the newsletter sign-up form, and will request your consent to use your email for interest based advertising. Your email will be converted into hashed format before being sent to partners. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, you may unsubscribe at any time using the “Unsubscribe” button.

Does Mediavine share or sell my personal information for interest based advertising?

Yes, Mediavine will use, share, license, sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to our partners to enable interest based advertising to be displayed to you on this site. Through the bidstream, an online marketplace, Mediavine shares data such as ad location, site content, and your personal information with advertisers. Advertisers bid for ad space, and the winning bidder gets to display their ad to you on this site.

Mediavine may share your personal data with partners to create a universal (unique) identifier linked to your online behavior and preferences, used to improve ad targeting. Mediavine and its partners may also combine your personal data collected from this site with data collected from other sources to build a profile of your interests and behaviors for interest based advertising across your online experience.
