Interest-Based Advertising Opt-out

Red Lotus is committed to transparency and choice. Our opt-out tool allows you to “opt out” of interest-based advertising. Some of the ads you receive on web pages, mobile apps and devices, and in emails are customized based on predictions about your interests generated from your visits over time and across different web sites. This type of ad customization — sometimes called “online behavioral” or “interest-based” advertising — is enabled through your computer or mobile browser, browser cookies, and mobile operating systems and applications. Such online advertising helps support the free content, products and services you get online.

Following your opt out, we will no longer collect and use data from across web domains, applications and email messages owned, operated, or advertised on by Red Lotus for the purpose of delivering advertising based on your known or inferred preferences or interests from the data collected (Interest Based Advertising or IBA). Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It means that we will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.

Please note that these opt outs apply only to data collection related to Interest-Based Advertising. You will still receive other types of online advertising on the web sites you visit and apps you use and the providers of those websites and apps may still collect information for other purposes.

Blocked cookies: The opt out cookie may not work if your browser is configured to block third-party cookies.

Deleting or protecting opt outs: If you delete your cookies, you will need to opt out again. There are browser plugins to help you preserve your opt out cookies. For more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/PMC

Only this browser: The opt out only applies to the browser profile in which you set it. For example, if you set the opt out while using Firefox, but then use Chrome, the opt out will not be active in Chrome. To opt out in Chrome, you will need to repeat the opt out process. This is because the cookies cannot be read between different browsers or browser profiles.

The opt out does not block or delete cookies: It also does not prevent the use of cookies or other technologies for purposes other than selecting ads based on your interests as inferred by your online behavior. If you opt out, data may still be collected about your web browsing activities and you will still see advertising. Ads may be selected, for example, based on the content of the web page in which they are shown. If you wish to block or delete cookies altogether, you can use web browser settings to do so.
