Opt out from MGID’s interest-based ads

How does opt-out work?
  • We use cookies to uniquely identify a browser, which gives advertisers the ability to show targeted ads that are relevant to you. If you would prefer us not to store a unique cookie in your browser, you may opt-out. Note that by opting out, you still may receive advertising from MGID when you visit our websites or websites of third parties where MGID-powered ads appear – it just will not be targeted to you based on your data.
  • Our tracking mechanisms operate at the device and browser level, to fully opt out across devices, you may need to do so on each device and browser individually.
  • If your browsers are configured to reject cookies, your opt-out may not work, since we identify your choice to opt out based on an opt-out cookie we deliver to you. In this case, you will need to confirm that your browser is configured properly in order for the opt-out to be effective. If you are using a Safari browser on iOS11 or macOS High Sierra, you must first adjust your Privacy and Security Settings to turn off both “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” and “Block All Cookies”, and then return to this privacy policy or your preferred opt-out platform to reset your opt-out preferences.
  • We may use non-cookie technologies in limited cases. Like cookies, these technologies allow us to recommend ads that are tailored to your interests and to remember whether you have chosen to opt out from our services. Please note that some web browsers may not permit you to block the use of non-cookie technologies, but you can do so by simply clicking on the Opt Out feature.
What are the consequences?
  • If you decide not to opt out: MGID will serve you personalized recommendations based on your history.
  • If you decide to opt-out: MGID will no longer serve you with personalized content recommendations based on your data (such as your Internet use history). You may still receive ads from MGID, but they won’t be using your data to deliver the most suitable content for you.

You may continue to receive advertisements that are selected based on the particular website that you are viewing (such as contextually based ads: the advertisement will be based on the content of the webpage you are viewing, but not your data).

Even if you decide to opt-out on this webpage, you still may receive personalized ads from other advertisers or ad networks. To disable them, you can:
  • change your cookie settings on the website where you receive such ads,
  • go to the ad network webpage to opt out,
  • use the NAI opt-out tool, which will allow you to opt-out of receiving targeted ads from NAI-approved member companies, or
