Retargeting Ads

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

Disclosure

I am happy to be considered by PR agencies and individual companies with regards to being sent products for review. I will only accept reviewing opportunities if I feel they fit with my blog style and target audience.

All reviews will be honest and formed of my own opinion after trying a product in our family. This may include pictures, videos, comments and thoughts from me, my husband and my children and these will be clearly stated.

I will state within the review whether I have bought a product myself, been given a product for review by the company in question or whether I have come across something myself that I feel I want to share with you.

Any compensation received for a review will not influence the content of the post, or any other area of my blog or related social media links.

I will accept paid and affiliate advertising if I feel it fits the ethos of my blog. I will also accept sponsored posts – again, only if I feel the content is relevant to my blog and posts. If a post is sponsored it will be clearly stated as either “advertorial content” or “collaboration”.

This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.co.uk.

If you require any further information about the way I work you can email me: Colette@goingonanadventure.co.uk
