Company number: BE0809.309.701

This Privacy Notice describes how Ads & Data uses your data to show targeted advertisements when you visit websites and applications of our Partners.

Do you want to learn more about how Ads & Data uses your data when you visit this website? Please read the website privacy notice.

How do we use your personal data?

First and foremost, always based on your consent provided to one or more Partners or Advertisers, we can use your data to:

  • create a personalised advertising profile about you;
  • show you personalised ads.
  1. Collecting data

When you visit a Partner’s website or application, we assign a random identification number to your browser or device and collect data about your visit. We may also receive personal data that you have shared with our Partners (see ‘What personal data do we collect and why?’).

With your data, we create an advertising profile (for example: sports fan, male, 30-45 years old). This enables us to fill the advertising space of Partners with ads that are as relevant as possible.

In addition, we sometimes create specific target audiences with advertisers based on our own advertising profiles and characteristics collected by Advertisers (for example, sports fans who recently visited the advertiser’s online shop). We may do this by collecting data about your browsing habits on an advertiser’s website. We may also compare data about you from our Partners with data from Advertisers. Rest assured, these data remain completely unreadable, as the comparison is performed on a secure intermediary platform in an encrypted format. Ads & Data does not share your data with Advertisers and Advertisers do not share personal data with Ads & Data.

What personal data do we collect and why?

What personal data do we share? And with whom?

  • A unique browser or device identifier with advertising partners who make it possible to select and show personalised ads.

Outside of Europe?

Some recipients are located in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In this case, the transfer of your encrypted data will be covered by appropriate safeguards, including standard rules of the European Commission. In short, your data remains as protected as under GDPR.

Overview of recipients

This page shows an alphabetical list of all parties who receive your data, with a link to their privacy policy.

 

How long will we keep your personal data?

Up to 13 months. And we constantly update your personal information to keep it accurate.

 

How does Ads & Data use cookies for personalised advertising?

To create advertising profiles and show personalised advertisements, we use cookies, pixels and scripts.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that are placed in the browser of your computer, smartphone or other device (hereinafter ‘Device’) when you visit a website.

Sometimes they are temporary – “session cookies” – and are deleted when you close your browser.

Other cookies – ‘persistent cookies’ – remain in place until they expire or until you delete them. For example, the cookie that remembers you have logged in so you don’t have to enter all your login details every time.

Pixels and SDKs

Pixels are usually transparent images of 1 pixel by 1 pixel that are embedded in a web page. They register, for example, information from cookies, your IP address and other information about your Device, for analytical purposes.

Software Development Kits (SDKs) do something similar to pixels in applications.

Scripts

Ads & Data also installs scripts. These are pieces of code that are executed by your browser when you visit a website.

Cookie overview

Below you find all cookies that Ads & Data and its advertising partners may place on Partners’ and Advertisers’ domains, along with pixels and scripts.
