Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers,
randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other
information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported

Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of
information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For
example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device
during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during
your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).

Use limited data to select advertisingOff

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such
as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type
or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit
the number of times an ad is presented to you).

A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally
conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is
presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change
actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they
are in an urban zone.

A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising
campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as
many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad
next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your
house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected
and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.

Create profiles for personalised advertisingOff

Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit,
content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you
(for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other
websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a
profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects).
Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more
relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.

If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this
information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike
accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a
different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike
accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury
car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest
in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested
in luxury cycling gear.

An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It
gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income
customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles
of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new
child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner
apps based on those profiles.

Use profiles to select personalised advertisingOff

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising
profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or
apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and
personal aspects.

An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants
to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its
mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have
previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you
with the corresponding advertisement on the app.

A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having
searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant
advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.

Measure advertising performanceOff

Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact
with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other
users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance,
whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a
product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the
relevance of advertising campaigns.

You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an
online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click
will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will
be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.

You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an
“international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app
of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a
specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international
appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in
order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad
placements.

Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different
sourcesOff

Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user
profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your
interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising)
content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which
target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).

The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the
proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or
consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as
the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating
to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used
and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.

An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with
its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics
of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar
platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser
that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and
is likely in the 45-60 age range.

Develop and improve servicesOff

Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with
ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to
build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of
audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or
improvement of user profiles and identifiers.

A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in
mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are
connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads
that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve
their performance.

An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer
device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new
kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying
advertising on this type of device.
