Targetted Advertisements

ABS-CBN displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.

ABS-CBN does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

ABS-CBN advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).

Cookies

ABS-CBN may set and access ABS-CBN cookies on your computer. ABS-CBN lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to ABS-CBN's cookies. ABS-CBN uses web beacons to access ABS-CBN cookies inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with ABS-CBN products and services.
