WHAT IS COOKIE REFRESH?
Please note that We use the cookie refresh function in order to refresh the duration period of the cookie set each time you visit the Websites. This means that the expiry term for a cookie is automatically renewed and starts from the beginning in case you visited the Websites again within the initial expiry term of such cookies without disturbing you regarding the additional necessity of giving extra consent for such cookies re-setting. For example, if the refreshment period is 30 (thirty) days and you visit Us every day, this means We will refresh set cookies every day and the whole duration of cookies will constitute the sum up of all refreshments made within your visits.
HOW CAN I MANAGE COOKIES FOR ADVERTISING?
Advertising helps to defray certain costs of providing services, especially costs that are incurred but not recovered from users. Thus, you may not have a choice to prevent ads from being presented when using the services; however, you do have choices to limit personalized ads that are tailored to your interests.
You may be able to control targeting as you browse the web through browser settings and other mechanisms. If you do not wish to receive personalized advertising that is delivered by third parties, you may be able to exercise that choice through opt-out programs that are administered by third parties, including
- the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI);
- the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and/or
- the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EIDAA).
Where applicable, you may exercise your opt-out choices at the NAI website, the DAA website, or the EIDAA website. We do not control these third-party-provided opt-out processes and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
If We deliver personalized advertising, We will provide all Our users with notice and information about how they may be able to opt out of such personalized ads. Such opportunity to opt-out may occur through your device settings.
We use Google, among others, to provide advertising through the services and on third-party websites. We may use the following features based on Google Analytics for Display Advertising: Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
INFORMATION AND CHOICES REGARDING TRACKING AND TARGETING ON MOBILE DEVICES
As of the effective date of this policy, Apple and Google offered the owners of devices that use their operating systems, iOS and Android, options for limiting tracking and targeting in relation to ads.
We do not control your device-level opt-out processes and We cannot be responsible for any choices you make through such mechanism or for the continued availability, accuracy, effectiveness, or location of that mechanism. Using a device-level opt-out mechanism may opt you out of all third-party personalized ads.
If you use an Apple device, visit http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4228.
If you use an Android device, navigate to the Google settings page, select ads, and then choose to reset your Android Ad ID or opt out of personalized ads.
There are also several browser plugins available to users that want to be better informed about and have more control over the use of cookies and related technologies on their devices.
