THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS

Wild Sky Media allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Wild Sky Media Sites.

These third parties automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, SDKs, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. Wild Sky Media does not provide any personal information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Wild Sky Media to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the target audience.
