Interest-Based Advertising Opt-Out
We and other third parties may collect information about the websites and mobile apps a particular browser or device interacts with across time and various digital properties. This information is used to infer consumer preferences and deliver more relevant advertising back to the browser or device, or to browsers or devices with which it is associated. This type of advertising is called interest-based advertising.
To learn more about this type of advertising, and exercise choice regarding it for companies that participate in the DAA choice page, including Experian’s OmniActivation Strategic Services, you can visit here. Additionally, to make choices regarding this type of advertising in mobile apps, you can use your device’s platform controls to limit ad tracking. After you make your choices regarding data collection and use, we will no longer use data from the browser or device in which you made choices for interest-based advertising, or on browsers or devices associated with it. We will also not use data from associated browsers or devices on the browser or device where choice occurred. You may also be able to use your mobile device’s settings to turn off location-based services to make choices regarding the collection of precise location data from your device for interest-based advertising. Additionally, you can directly opt-out from online targeting by OmniActivation Strategic Services through its third-party advertising partner by clicking here. Experian’s OmniActivation Strategic Services products and services comply with the DAA Principles.
These opt-outs will be effective for this browser on this computer only. If you delete your cookies, use different browsers or devices, or reset your device’s advertising identifier after opting-out, you will have to repeat the opt-out process to reinstate the opt-out flag. Otherwise, the opt-out flag will remain in effect for the life of the cookie. Please note that, if you choose to opt out of OmniActivation Strategic Services or our Partners’ use of data for interest-based advertising, you will still continue to see advertisements on Experian, publisher partners and other websites and mobile apps, but these advertisements may not be tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, data may still be collected for non-interest-based advertising purposes. Learn more about other ways to opt out of certain Experian marketing products.
