We engage in interest-based advertising to deliver online advertising that may be more relevant to your interests.This means that we permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third party services to collect information about your use of our websites and Platform over time so that they may play or display ads on our Platform, on other websites, apps, or services you may use, and on other devices you may use.

To learn more about your choices regarding interest-based advertising, visit the “Your Privacy Choices” section below.
We learn from groups of consumers sharing similar interests. We may place you in a group of consumers who show the same interests (sometimes these are called “look alike audiences”). We may infer these things about you based on your activity on certain webpages, links you click on our Platform and other websites you visit, mobile applications you use, or our brand emails you view and links you click in the emails, and based on other information we have collected, such as from retail partners and other third parties. We group together information to help us learn about general trends, habits or characteristics about a group of consumers who act similarly online or offline and use this information to send this group information we believe will be relevant product offers or information.

How to Exercise Choice for Interest-Based Advertising
Advertising Industry Opt-Outs
To exercise choice with respect to interest-based advertising, you can use the opt-out mechanism provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN (for browsers) or https://youradchoices.com/appchoices (for apps).
You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative’s tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain interest-based advertising delivered by NAI members’ ad networks: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
To opt-out of Unified ID 2.0 globally visit: https://www.transparentadvertising.com/.
Even if you opt-out of certain kinds of interest-based ads, you may continue to receive other ads. And opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer under the DAA / NAI rules deliver certain targeted ads to you. This will affect services provided by the applicable DAA / NAI members but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads from non-participating parties. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different Device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access, your DAA / NAI browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Mobile device opt-outs will not affect browser-based Interest-based ads even on the same device, and you must opt-out separately for each device. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third party opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
You can also prevent or reduce getting interest-based ads on websites by declining cookies in your browser(s), or on mobile devices by declining the “access to data” requests that apps usually present when you install them or by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device.
You will still see “contextual” ads even if you opt out of interest-based ads. Even if we stop sending you interest-based ads, you will still get ads from our brands on your computer or mobile devices. These ads, however, are based on the context of the sites you visit and are called contextual ads. Unlike interest-based ads which are based on pages you visit on your mobile phone or computer viewing activities over time and across unrelated services, contextual ads are ads shown to you based on the context of the specific site you are visiting. You should also know that we may still collect information from your computer or devices and use it for other purposes like evaluating how our websites work, for consumer research, or detecting fraud, pursuant to applicable laws.
How You Can Control Cookies
-
Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking technologies, or to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can visit https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.
-
If you block cookies, certain features on our Platform may not work. Depending on your mobile device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies and you may not be able to block non-cookie technologies (such as flash cookies) and these browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques. In addition, options you select relating to cookies and other tracking technologies are browser and device specific. You must exercise these choices on each browser and device you use.
-
When you opt out of interest-based advertising, an opt-out cookie is sent to your browser that indicates you no longer want to receive interest-based ads. Your opt-out cookie will be deleted if you decide to delete all cookies on your browser. You will need to opt out again on each browser when you clear or delete cookies if you do not want to receive interest-based advertising.

How to Opt Out of tracking PI: To exercise your Right to Opt Out of tracking PI, visit the bottom of a Health & Wellbeing brand homepage that links to this Policy and click on “AdChoices – Do Not Sell or Share” at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to our cookie management tool with instructions for using the toggle to enable certain cookie preferences on your device. Some advertising opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. Furthermore, the options you select relating to interest-based advertising are browser and device specific. If you use a different device, change browsers, or visit a different Health & Wellbeing brand website or delete the opt-out cookies, you may need to perform the opt-out task again. Where available, you may choose to enable an online tool that automatically communicates your universal opt-out preferences, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). You may need to use a specific browser or an extension that supports these tools and universal signals. When detected, we will process such a signal as Right to Opt Out of tracking PI request.
