Advertising Policy

Advertising keeps Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. services and many of the websites and services you use running. 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 Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd., 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 Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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 Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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).

See more detail about the types of cookies used by Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and our partners and how we use them.

How you can control advertising cookies

You can use Ads Settings to manage Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. ads you see and opt out of Ads Personalization. Even if you opt out of Ads Personalization, you may still see ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address, your browser type, and your search terms.

You can also manage many companies’ cookies used for online advertising via the consumer choice tools created under self-regulation programs in many countries.

You can also manage cookies in your web browser.

Other technologies used in advertising

Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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

Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. ad services 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. Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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 Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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.

To opt out of personalized ads in apps on your mobile device, follow the instructions below.

What determines the ads by Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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 on the web that’s based on your app activity or activity on Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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 Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 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 Digital Flame’s ad serving products to deliver those ads.

You may also see ads on Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. services based on information, such as your email address, that you provided to advertisers and the advertisers then shared with Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd..

Seeing ads by Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. for services you’ve viewed?

You may see ads for services you previously viewed. Like you visit a website that sells golf clubs, but you don’t buy those clubs on your first visit. The website owner might want to encourage you to return and complete your purchase. Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. offers services that let website operators target their ads to people who visited their pages.

For this to work, Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. either reads a cookie that’s already in your browser or a cookie gets placed in your browser when you visit the golfing site (assuming your browser lets this happen).

When you visit another site that works with Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd., which may have nothing to do with golfing, you might see an ad for those golf clubs. That’s because your browser sends Digital Flame Marketing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. the same cookie. In turn, we may use that cookie to serve you an ad that could encourage you to buy those golf clubs.

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 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.
