1. About Advertising on RedRabble

Advertising helps support RedRabble and allows us to provide our journalism and content free of charge to readers. We are committed to transparency about the ads you see on our website and to giving you control over your advertising experience.

This page explains how advertising works on our site, who our advertising partners are, and how you can manage your ad preferences. For information about how we collect and use data for advertising, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. Types of Ads We Display

We display the following types of advertising on our website:

  • In-Article Ads: Ads that appear within the body of our articles, between paragraphs of content. These are designed to be relevant to the article you are reading.
  • Display Ads: Banner and other display formats that may appear alongside our content in designated ad placements.
  • Contextual Ads: Ads that are selected based on the content of the page (e.g., an article about technology may show technology-related ads).
  • Interest-Based Ads: Ads that are tailored to your interests based on your browsing activity across websites. These ads use cookies and similar technologies. You can opt out of interest-based advertising as described below.

3. Our Advertising Partners

We work with advertising technology companies to deliver and measure ads on our website. Our primary advertising partner is:

  • Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve ads on our site. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your visits to our site and other websites in order to provide relevant ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.

Other third-party vendors may also serve ads on our behalf or assist with ad delivery and measurement. These partners are subject to their own privacy policies.

4. How to Manage Your Ad Preferences

You have several options to control the ads you see and how your data is used for advertising:

Google Ad Settings

Google allows you to view, edit, and delete your ad personalization settings. You can turn off personalized ads entirely or fine-tune which categories of ads you see.

Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)

The DAA offers an opt-out tool that allows you to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. When you opt out, your browser will store a cookie that signals your preference.

Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)

The NAI also provides an opt-out mechanism for member companies. You can manage your preferences for participating ad networks.

Browser Settings

You can block or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Blocking third-party cookies will limit the ability of advertisers to deliver personalized ads. Note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Check your browser's help section for instructions on managing cookies.

5. Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Information

If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We provide a dedicated page with full details and opt-out options.

6. Ad Labeling and the Ad Choices Icon

Some ads on our site may display the Ad Choices icon (a blue triangle) or similar indicators. Clicking on these icons typically takes you to a page where you can learn more about the ad and manage your preferences with that advertiser. Not all ads will display this icon, but you can always manage your preferences through the tools described above.

7. Opting Out of Interest-Based Ads

If you opt out of interest-based advertising, you may still see ads on our site. However, these ads may be less relevant to you because they will not be based on your interests. They may be contextual (based on the content of the page) or generic. Opt-out choices are often stored in cookies, so if you clear your cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to opt out again.

8. Children and Advertising

Our website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising purposes. We comply with applicable laws regarding advertising directed to minors.

9. Advertising Inquiries

If you are interested in advertising on RedRabble, have questions about our advertising practices, or wish to report an ad that you believe violates our standards, please contact us through our Help Center.

10. Changes

We may update this Ad Choices page from time to time to reflect changes in our advertising practices or partners. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated practices.
