We also use the information we collect to host, operate, maintain, secure, and further develop and improve our Services, such as to keep track of advertising delivery and to measure the effectiveness of advertising delivered through our Services, and investigate compliance with Critiqued’s policies and terms and conditions.

4. Interest-Based Advertising and Opting Out

Critiqued adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles in the US and to the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) Principles in the EU and the IAB Europe OBA Framework.The Critiqued Ad Exchange uses cookies, Web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to give Publishers the possibility to offer, and Ad Exchange advertisers the ability to show, targeted ads on the device on which you are viewing this policy or a different device. These ads are more likely to be relevant to you because they are based on inferences drawn from location data, web viewing data collected across non-affiliated sites over time, and/or application use data collected across non-affiliated apps over time. This is called "interest-based advertising." In addition, certain third parties may collect data on the Critiqued website and combine this data with information collected from other websites over time for purposes that include interest-based advertising.

5. Opting Out for Cookie-Based Services

If you would like to learn more about this type of advertising, or would prefer to opt out of website interest-based advertising enabled by Critiqued’s Ad Exchange, European Union residents may opt-out of this form of advertising by companies participating in the EDAA at www.youronlinechoices.com and all other users may visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of this form of advertising by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program.

6. Opting Out for Certain Non-Cookie Services (in applicable countries)

To help identify your browser and/or possible relationships between different browsers and devices, Critiqued or our partners may use the local storage or cache in your browser.
