​

We are a full service digital marketing agency. We work with the online data that’s been gathered by clients to manage and optimise their online ad campaigns, web properties and/or more generally, their online presence. In doing this we may purchase advertising inventory from a variety of online platforms, advertising exchanges, and other media sources on behalf of clients. 

​

Interest-Based Advertising

​

Interest-based advertising is a technique used to help make sure that the adverts you see are interesting and relevant to you. Information about your internet activity (such as the websites you visit) is collected by or on behalf of our clients.  This information is then analysed to better understand your interests. By knowing your interests, we can direct the online placement of our clients’ ads accordingly. 

​

Without interest-based advertising, you will still see adverts online. However, those ads are less likely to relate to the products or services you care about. 

​

What data is needed for interest-based advertising and why?

​

The information that’s collected for this type of advertising does not identify you in the real world – it doesn’t involve your name, email address or phone number. It does, however, involve the use of online identifiers.

​

To deliver interest-based advertising on behalf of our clients, we use data that identifies the device (such as the computer, laptop, smart phone) that you use to surf the web. This would be the IP address or device ID. In addition, we make use of the online activity associated with that IP address or device ID (such as web browsing activity and interactions with online ads).

​

Our clients gather this data. To do so, they rely on cookies or similar technologies. These technologies are downloaded to your browser as you surf the internet. They store information about your interaction with the ad or website that has set them. 

​

By combining IP address or device ID with internet activity, our clients can build a picture of the person using that device – and predict their interests. So, when you connect your device to the internet, you are more likely to see our clients’ ads if they relate to products or services you might be interested in. 

​

Who uses this data?

​

We use a variety of media sources (including Advertising Exchanges, search and social media platforms) to display our clients’ ads.  We also work with third parties, such as advertisers, web publishers, advertising servers, search engines and social media platforms to improve the relevance of the ads served on behalf of our clients. 

Do you want your data to be used for interest-based advertising? The choice is yours.

​

We are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all individuals with whom we interact on behalf of our clients, and to fostering user confidence in online advertising.  Accordingly, we support and promote relevant industry guidelines including those established by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the CAP Code on Online Behavioural Advertising.  We are registered with the Information Commissioners Office in the UK and have a number of accreditations.
