Online Advertising

Mindset Magazine does not currently show advertising to users on its website but reserves the right to do so. Our websites may show advertising to users. A proportion of this advertising may be tailored to the individual user, a practice known as “Online Behavioural Advertising” which uses cookies to discover general information about the pages you visit. Our advertising delivery systems and partners uses the limited information available to it to serve adverts to you, which it believes are relevant. It does not collect personal information such as your name, email address postal address or telephone number.

From time to time, Mindset Magazine may share this aggregated data with its advertising partners. This could mean that when you are on other websites you are served advertising based on your behaviour across our or other sites.

Behavioural retargeting is another form of Online Behavioural Advertising that enables us and some of our advertising partners to show you adverts based on browsing patterns and interactions with the site away from our sites. This allows companies to advertise to website visitors who leave their website without making a purchase.

If you want to opt out of receiving Online Behavioural Advertising this does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising when you are using our sites. It just means that the advertising you see will not be customised for you.
