Use of limited data to select basic ads

Advertising presented on this service may be based on limited data, such as the web page or application you are using, your non-precise location, device type, or the content you are interacting with (or have interacted with) (for example, to limit the number of times a particular advertisement is presented).

Illustrations

A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally friendly users who live in the city after working hours. The advertisement is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change measures) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose location does not precisely suggest that they are in an urban area.
A major watercolor manufacturer wants to run an Internet advertising campaign to publicize its latest range of watercolors in order to reach both amateur and professional artists and, in turn, avoid displaying the ad alongside other unrelated content (e.g., articles on how to paint a house). The number of times the ad has been shown will be detected and limited so as not to show it too many times.

Create profiles for personalized advertising

Information about your activity on this service (e.g., the forms you fill out, the content you are consuming) may be stored and combined with other information held about you or similar users (e.g., information about your previous activity on this service and on other websites or applications).

If you read several articles about the best bicycle accessories on the market, this information could be used to create a profile of your interest in bicycle accessories. This profile can be used or enhanced in the future, through the same or a different website/application, to present you with brand-specific bicycle accessory advertising. If you also visit a vehicle configurator on a luxury car manufacturer's website, this information could be combined with your interest in bicycles to refine your profile to assume your interest in high-end bicycle accessories.
A clothing company wants to promote its new collection of high-end baby clothes. It contacts an agency that has a network of high-income clients (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples whose high income and recent parenthood can be assumed so that these profiles can then be used to display advertising within partner applications based on these profiles.

The content presented to you on this service may be based on a content personalization profile, which may reflect your activity on this or other services (e.g., the forms you submit or the content you view), your possible interests and personal aspects.

Measuring advertising performance

Information about what advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advertisement has worked for you or other users and whether advertising objectives have been achieved. For example, whether you viewed an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether that subsequently led you to buy a product or visit a website, and so on. This is very useful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.

Illustrations

You have clicked on an advertisement on a web page/media about discounts made by an online store on the occasion of "Black Friday" online and subsequently purchased a product. That click you made will be linked to that purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know the number of clicks on the ad that ended in a purchase.
You are one of the few people who have clicked on an ad promoting a "Mother's Day" discount from an online gift store within a website/media application. The media outlet wants reports to understand how often you and other users have viewed or clicked on a particular ad within the app and, in particular, the "Mother's Day" ad to help the media outlet and its partners (e.g., advertising agencies) optimize ad placement.

Measuring content performance

Information about what content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine, for example, whether the (non-advertising) content has reached your intended audience and matched their interests. For example, whether you have read an article, watched a video, listened to a podcast or viewed a product description, how much time you spent on those services and the web pages you visited, etc. This is very useful to understand the relevance of the (non-advertising) content shown to you.

Illustrations

You have read a blog post about hiking from a publisher/media mobile app and followed a link to a recommended and related post to that post. Your interactions will be recorded to indicate that you found the initial hiking post useful and that the post was successful in gaining your interest in the related post. This will be measured to see if more hiking content should be published in the future and where to place it on the home screen of the mobile app.
You have been presented with a video on fashion trends, but you and other users have stopped watching it after about 30 seconds. This information will be used to assess the optimal duration of future fashion trend videos.

Understanding the public through statistics or through the combination of data from different sources

Reports can be generated based on a combination of data sets (such as user profiles, statistics, market research, analytical data) regarding your and other users' interactions with advertising (or non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (e.g., to determine which target audience is most receptive to an advertising campaign or certain content).

Illustrations

The owner of a bookstore operating on the Internet wants to have business reports that show the proportion of visitors who have visited his site and left without buying anything or who have consulted and bought the last published autobiography, as well as the average age and gender distribution for each of the two groups of visitors. Subsequently, data related to your browsing on their site and your personal characteristics are used and combined with other data to create these statistics.
An advertiser wants to have a better understanding of the type of audience that interacts with its ads. It therefore turns to a research institute in order to compare the characteristics of users who have interacted with the ad with the typical attributes of users of similar platforms on different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its advertising audience is primarily accessing the ads through mobile devices and that their age range is likely to be between 45 and 60 years old.

A travel magazine, to enhance travel experiences abroad, has posted on its website an article about new courses offered by an online language school. The school's blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page and are selected based on the user's non-precise location (e.g. blog posts explaining the course curriculum for languages other than the country where the user is located).
A mobile sports news app has launched a new section of articles on the latest soccer matches. Each article includes videos hosted by an independent streaming platform showing highlights of each match.
