What is online interest based advertising?
Online interest-based advertising is a way of serving advertisements on the websites you visit and making them more relevant to you and your interests.
Shared interests are grouped together based upon previous web browsing activity and web users are then served advertising which matches their shared interests. In this way, advertising can be made as relevant and useful as possible. Relevant ads can also be delivered based upon the website content you have just been viewing. This is known as âretargetingâ.For more information refer to http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/
