CIMG Online Advertising
In order to customize your experience on the WWPM MediaNet websites, we may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about the content and advertisements you view on our websites. Based on this information, and other information we may collect about you, we try to infer your interests and show content and advertising that is more relevant to you. For example, if you access an article about computers on one WWPM MediaNet website, we may show you a computer-related advertisement on another WWPM MediaNet website based on your apparent interests.
We also may receive information from third parties about you and your activities on other sites for the purpose of serving relevant advertisements to you on WWPM MediaNet websites. For example, if you access an article on a third-party site about computers, we may use that information to serve you with a computer-related advertisement on a WWPM MediaNet website.
Please note that we may share information about our users with advertisers so that they can measure the effectiveness of advertisements viewed on the WWPM MediaNet websites. For example, we may tell advertisers the number of users who clicked on a particular advertisement.
These online-advertising efforts across WWPM MediaNet websites do not result in you seeing more advertisements, just more relevant advertising, and they allow us to provide you with free content and services on our Web Sites. We hope you value our efforts to show you content and advertising that more closely reflects your interests.
Some of the advertisements you see on WWPM MediaNet websites are delivered by third parties. To learn more, please read about third-party online advertising.
