How Gigfactory uses cookies in advertising

Cookies help to make advertising more effective. Without cookies, it’s harder for an advertiser to reach its audience. We store a record of the ads we serve in our logs. These server logs typically include your web request, IP address, browser type, and one or more cookies. We anonymize this log data by removing part of the IP address (after 9 months) and cookie information (after 18 months).

Our advertising cookies

To help our partners manage their advertising, we offer products including AdSense, AdWords, Gigfactory Analytics, and DoubleClick-branded services. When you visit a page or see an ad that uses one of these products, various cookies may be sent to your browser from domains including Gigfactory.com, doubleclick.net, Gigfactorysyndication.com, or Gigfactoryadservices.com.

What determines the ads by Gigfactory that I see?

Many decisions are made to determine which ad you see. Sometimes the ad you see is based on your current or past location. Your IP address is usually a good indication of your approximate location. Sometimes you might also see an ad that’s based on your app activity or activity on Gigfactory services; an in-app ad that’s based on your web activity; or an ad based on your activity on another device.

We may change this Privacy Policy. If we make substantial changes, we will provide notice. Gigfactory may update this Privacy Policy at any time and any changes will be effective upon posting. In the event that there are substantial changes to the way we treat your Personal Information, we will display a notice through the Services prior to the change becoming effective.

If you have any questions about the security on Gigfactory, please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, no method of transmission over the internet or via mobile device, or any method of electronic communication/storage, is 100% secure.

Advertising keeps Gigfactory and many of the websites and services you use free of charge. We work hard to make sure that ads are safe, unobtrusive, and as relevant as possible. For example, you won’t see pop-up ads on Gigfactory, and we terminate the accounts of hundreds of thousands of publishers and advertisers that violate our policies each year – including ads containing malware, ads for counterfeit goods, or ads that attempt to misuse your personal information.

How Gigfactory uses cookies in advertising
Cookies help to make advertising more effective. Without cookies, it’s harder for an advertiser to reach its audience, or to know how many ads were shown and how many clicks they received.

Many websites, such as news sites and blogs, partner with Gigfactory to show ads to their visitors. Working with our partners, we may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as to stop you from seeing the same ad over and over again, to detect and stop click fraud, and to show ads that are likely to be more relevant (such as ads based on websites you have visited).

We store a record of the ads we serve in our logs. These server logs typically include your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We store this data for a number of reasons, the most important of which are to improve our services and to maintain the security of our systems. We anonymize this log data by removing part of the IP address (after 9 months) and cookie information (after 18 months).

Our advertising cookies
To help our partners manage their advertising and websites, we offer many products, including AdSense, AdWords, Gigfactory Analytics, and a range of DoubleClick-branded services. When you visit a page or see an ad that uses one of these products, on Gigfactory various cookies may be sent to your browser.

These may be set from a few different domains, including Gigfactory.com, doubleclick.net, Gigfactorysyndication.com, or Gigfactoryadservices.com, or the domain of our partners’ sites. Some of our advertising products enable our partners to use other services in conjunction with ours (like an ad measurement and reporting service), and these services may send their own cookies to your browser. These cookies will be set from their domains.

See more detail about the types of cookies used by Gigfactory and our partners and how we use them. You can also manage cookies in your web browser.

Other technologies used in advertising
Gigfactory’s advertising systems may use other technologies, including Flash and HTML5, for functions like display of interactive ad formats. We may use the IP address, for example, to identify your general location. We may also select advertising based on information about your computer or device, such as your device model, browser type, or sensors in your device like the accelerometer.

Location
Gigfactory’s ad products may receive or infer information about your location from a variety of sources. For example, we may use the IP address to identify your general location; we may receive precise location from your mobile device; we may infer your location from your search queries; and websites or apps that you use may send information about your location to us. Gigfactory uses location information in our ads products to infer demographic information, to improve the relevance of the ads you see, to measure ad performance and to report aggregate statistics to advertisers.

Advertising identifiers for mobile apps
To serve ads in services where cookie technology may not be available (for example, in mobile applications), we may use technologies that perform similar functions to cookies. Sometimes Gigfactory links the identifier used for advertising on mobile applications to an advertising cookie on the same device in order to coordinate ads across your mobile apps and mobile browser. This can happen, for example, when you see an ad within an app that launches a web page in your mobile browser. This also helps us improve the reports we give to our advertisers on the effectiveness of their campaigns.

What determines the ads by Gigfactory that I see?
Many decisions are made to determine which ad you see.
Sometimes the ad you see is based on your current or past location. Your IP address is usually a good indication of your approximate location. So, you might see an ad on the homepage of Gigfactory that promotes a forthcoming movie in your country, or a search for ‘pizza’ might return results for pizza places in your town.
Sometimes you might also see an ad on the web that’s based on your app activity or activity on Gigfactory services; an in-app ad that’s based on your web activity; or an ad based on your activity on another device.

Sometimes the ad you see on a page is served by Gigfactory but selected by another company. For example, you might have registered with a newspaper website. From information you’ve given the newspaper, it can make decisions about which ads to show you, and it can use Gigfactory’s ad serving products to deliver those ads.

You may also see ads on Gigfactory products and services based on information, such as your email address, that you provided to advertisers and the advertisers then shared with Gigfactory.

We do have restrictions on this type of ad. For example, we prohibit advertisers from selecting an audience based on sensitive information, such as health information, nudity, intimate ads or religious beliefs.
If you find any such advertisement objectionable you can report the advertisement for restricting future broadcast or directly close it by clicking the cross at the extreme top of corner in the right side of the advertisement.
For further clarifications and queries please contact Gigfactory’s customer support.
