Publisher Collective Privacy Notice for Partners

Network N Limited t/a Publisher Collective (“Publisher Collective”) has an agreement with the site which you linked from (the “Site”) for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site. This Privacy Notice explains how Publisher Collective uses your data when you visit the Site and supersedes any other language on the Site (if any) with respect to the data privacy practices of Publisher Collective.

Publisher Collective uses industry standard tools for the placement and serving of ads, including those provided by Google, Permutive, Anonymised, Primis and Quantcast. Publisher Collective publishes interest-based advertisements on the Site, which are advertisements that are tailored to reflect your interests. To help make the advertising on the Site you linked from more relevant to you, Publisher Collective and its Advertising Partners may track your behaviour on the Site from which you linked and on other websites across the Internet using cookies and other tracking technologies.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.  Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that Publisher Collective stores about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

How To Opt Out Of Interest-Based Advertising

Publisher Collective is a member of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and adheres to the NAI Codes of Conduct as described on the NAI website. Publisher Collective also adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles. For a description of the DAA Program, please visit the DAA website.

You can opt out of participating in interest-based advertising networks but opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the companies from which you opted out will no longer customize ads based on your interests and web usage patterns using cookie-based technology. Note that these opt-out mechanisms themselves use cookies, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained.
