Interest-based ads are sometimes referred to as personalised or targeted ads. We show interest-based ads to display features, products, and services, on easy vend that might be of interest to you. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (a coalition of marketing, online advertising, and consumer advocacy organisations).

What sort of information do we use to show interest-based ads?

To serve you interest-based ads, we use information such as your interactions with easy vend sites, content, or services. We do not use information which on its own identifies you, such as name or e-mail address, to serve interest-based ads.

We use cookies, pixels, IP addresses, and other technologies (collectively, “advertising technologies”), which enable us to understand the effectiveness of the interest-based ads we show you by measuring what ads are clicked or viewed, and to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, we use cookies or other information such as IP address to limit the number of times you are shown the same ad.

See our Privacy Policy for more information about the types of information that we gather.

How do we work with third parties to show you interest-based ads?

We may work with third parties, such as advertisers, publishers, social media networks, search engines, ad serving companies, and advertising companies working on their behalf, to improve the relevance of ads we serve. In providing you interest-based ads we do not associate your interactions on unaffiliated sites with information which on its own identifies you, such as name or email address, and we do not provide any such information to advertisers or to third-party sites that display our interest-based ads. Advertisers and other third parties may assume that users who interact with or click on an interest-based ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, users in a particular geographical area or users who purchased or browsed for instrumental music). Some third-parties may provide us pseudonymised information about you (such as demographic information or sites where you have been shown ads) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.

Third party advertisers or advertising companies working on their behalf sometimes use advertising technologies in the process of delivering content, including ads, directly to your browser or device, and they may automatically receive an IP address when this happens. They may also use advertising technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads, show you more relevant advertising content, and perform services on behalf of easy vend. For information on how to control and delete cookies (including third party cookies) please visit our Cookie policy.

For information on the advertising practices of websites and services offered by other easy vend companies, please review their interest-based ads policies and other notices.
