• Our advertising revenue computing technology

  On BlogTalkRadio, the Owner provides Broadcasters with the Revenue Engine program in order to allow the latter to monetize the content that they create and share via or through BlogTalkRadio.
  In order to execute such program, comply with its legal obligations with the Broadcasters and receive the fees agreed upon with the advertisers, BlogTalkRadio uses the tracking technology linked to the Revenue Engine Program to track and measure ad clicks and impressions.
  The reason why we need to keep track of clicks and impressions lies in the fact that these actions determine the amount of revenues paid by advertisers to BlogTalkRadio and the amount of revenues that BlogTalkRadio will pay to Broadcasters.
  In light of the above, Listeners must be aware that whenever they click on ads displayed or otherwise showcased during a video or audio broadcast available on BlogTalkRadio, the action shall be tracked for the reasons explained above.

How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent

There are various ways to manage Tracker related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent, where relevant:

Users can manage preferences related to Trackers from directly within their own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of Trackers.

Additionally, whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, Users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting their preferences within the cookie notice or by updating such preferences accordingly via the relevant consent-preferences widget, if available.

It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent.

Other Trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.

With regard to any third-party Trackers, Users can manage their preferences and withdraw their consent via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.

Notwithstanding the above, Users may follow the instructions provided by YourOnlineChoices (EU), the Network Advertising Initiative (US) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (US), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan) or other similar services. Such initiatives allow Users to select their tracking preferences for most of the advertising tools. The Owner thus recommends that Users make use of these resources in addition to the information provided in this document.

The Digital Advertising Alliance offers an application called AppChoices that helps Users to control interest-based advertising on mobile apps.
