This Appnerve Opt-Out Policy is intended to help you exercise your rights under applicable privacy laws—such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other similar privacy laws in applicable U.S. states (e.g., Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah)—specifically regarding the use of cookies and mobile advertising identifiers for interest-based advertising and cross-device targeting.
Please follow the instructions below to exercise your right to opt out of such data uses.
Important Notes on Regulatory Compliance
Opting out under this policy is a means by which you can:
- Exercise your “right to object” or withdraw consent under GDPR (if located in the European Economic Area).
- Exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information under CCPA/CPRA (if you’re a California resident).
- Exercise similar rights under other U.S. state privacy laws where applicable.
Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising and cross-device targeting does not mean you will no longer receive online ads. It means you will no longer receive ads tailored to your preferences or usage behavior by Appnerve or our partners.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising via Cookies
To opt out of Appnerve’s collection and use of data for interest-based advertising through cookies, you may use our opt-out mechanism provided on our website.
How It Works:
- When you opt out, an opt-out cookie will be placed on your browser to prevent data collection for interest-based advertising.
- This opt-out cookie is browser- and device-specific. For example, opting out in Firefox on your laptop will not apply to Chrome or your mobile device.
- If you use multiple browsers or devices, you must repeat the opt-out process on each one.
- If your browser is set to block third-party cookies or if the opt-out cookie is deleted (e.g., by clearing your cache), the opt-out will no longer be effective.
- To preserve your opt-out settings, consider installing a browser extension from www.aboutads.info/PMC.
To check if your browser currently has the Appnerve opt-out cookie, you may refer to the status page linked on our website.
If you previously opted out but wish to opt back in, you can do so via the same settings page.
For more information on Appnerve’s use of cookies, please refer to our [Cookie Policy]. To learn more about cookies in general, including how to manage or delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Please be aware that clearing your browser cookies or cache will not prevent interest-based advertising unless the opt-out process is repeated.
Some of our publisher clients may offer their own opt-out tools. Refer to their privacy policies or websites to manage advertising preferences specific to their platforms.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising via Mobile Identifiers
Appnerve’s clients and partners may deliver personalized ads within mobile applications based on your app usage over time and across non-affiliated apps.
To opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile apps:
- Download the DAA’s AppChoices app from www.aboutads.info/appchoices
- Follow the instructions within the app to disable personalized ads on your mobile device(s)
Opting Out of Cross-Device Targeting
Appnerve’s partners may link usage data from your current device or browser with data from other devices you use, in order to deliver personalized advertising across devices.
To opt out of this cross-device targeting, you must:
- Opt out from cookies in each browser you use
- Opt out from mobile advertising identifiers in each mobile device you use
Because cross-device targeting relies on connecting data across multiple browsers and devices, opting out in only one browser or device will not prevent the use of data collected elsewhere.
