Interest-based advertising (also known as targeted or personalized advertising or ads) is advertising based on your interests as inferred from your activities over time on the Digital Services & online services operated by third parties, as well as information from other sources, including information collected offline. Interest-based ads may consist of text ads, images, animations or videos & may be displayed to you based on various factors, including the context of the site or app in which they appear (e.g., sport or travel section), information you provided to the operator of the site or app (e.g., when you created an account), your activities on the site or app (e.g., pages viewed, searches performed or ads clicked), & information such as your demographic, interests & household information.
On the Digital Services & on third-party sites, apps or other media, we, our service providers & third parties may use automated means to (a) collect information for interest-based advertising purposes or (b) serve you interest-based ads.

Interest-based ads may be displayed to you by third parties, such as ad networks or exchanges.
There are steps you can take to limit the collection of your information for interest-based advertising purposes. These steps vary for the web & mobile app environments & are browser & device specific.
