The ad services use this information to show you ads that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information that ad services may collect includes data about your visits to websites that serve AUB advertisements, such as the pages or ads you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Online Services and on third-party websites and apps that participate in these ad services. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

 The Online Services are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.  To learn how to opt out of interest-based advertising, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.
