Privacy Policy
We take privacy seriously and so should you!
This privacy statement has been updated on 06-13-2023.
This policy explains how our ad serving technology powers our business. In particular, this policy explains the data collected both within our advertising ad server and collected on the websites of our clients. This policy also explains what choices you have regarding the use and sharing of your information.
ClickDistrict runs an online advertising network that enables us to buy and sell ad space on websites for online advertising. Our clients are businesses engaged in Internet advertising – advertisers, agencies, publishers, ad networks and other technology providers. Our ad serving technology powers this business. When ad space on a website is sold, to an advertiser or agency, the technology fulfills the transaction by delivering the ad to that publisher’s site. Generally, an Internet user’s computer comes into contact with ClickDistrict when a user visits a website whose publisher utilizes the ClickDistrict technology, or views an ad that has been served by us. The ads sent by the ClickDistrict technology are sent from the domain ads.creativeserving.com.
ClickDistrict is a technology provider for our clients. As a technology provider, we prohibit our clients from sending personally identifiable information to the ClickDistrict technology.
Before the ClickDistrict technology delivers an ad, the technology uses information collected from several sources to decide the best ad to display. The information used helps the technology infer the context in which the ad will appear; resulting in a more relevant ad. This section describes the technologies used on our client’s websites to help deliver the most relevant ad to you:
* Cookies are small text files that are stored within a browser. They are accessed and recorded by the web site visited and by the companies that show ads on that site to enable them to recognize the same browser or user. They are used as part of the ad serving process and also help us collect information about a user’s online interactions. The ClickDistrict cookie helps us maintain a list of ads previously delivered by our technology. The cookie also stores the number of times the same ad was delivered, the number of times you have clicked on an ad served by our technology, and the number of times you have possibly engaged in a business transaction on the advertisers website.
* When an ad is served on one of our clients websites, ClickDistrict’s technology collects non-personally identifiable information such as the date and time of your visit to our clients website, your IP address, the type of browser you are using, and the web page address that you are visiting. This information helps our technology infer the context in which the ad will appear. This information is saved in a log file and kept by ClickDistrict for auditing and fraud detection purposes.
* Our technology responds to requests from ad tags placed on the website you are visiting. Ad tags provide ClickDistrict with information to determine the size and location of the ad. In some cases, websites can also provide information about you, such as non-personally identifiable demographic information.
* Our technology uses web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or 1×1 pixels). A web beacon serves a tiny graphic placed on a web site that is not visible to the user. We allow our clients to use web beacons to measure campaign effectiveness and to optimize campaign performance. The advertiser can then utilize this information to measure the effectiveness of their campaign and provide more relevant advertising. Our technology also uses pixels to allow our clients to create and identify consumer segments and select the appropriate ad based on the segment.
* Our technology collects and stores aggregated ad delivery reporting data. This data is used to provide our clients with campaign reporting and used for billing purposes. A typical report includes information about the ads delivered, including the date and time of ad delivery, the websites on which the ads were shown, and statistics on user response. A report also includes statistics about browser types, date and time of ad delivery, and inferred geography.
ClickDistrict uses retargeting (tracking) pixels and conversion pixels that drop cookies. ClickDistrict drops cookies through every ad it serves.
Tracking cookies are being used for several purposes:
1To determine a user’s interest based on previous site visits by this user. Example: ClickDistrict runs an advertising campaign for Brand X. Brand X implements a ClickDistrict tracking pixel on their homepage. The users that visit the Brand X homepage can be re-targeted when recognized afterwards within the ClickDistrict network with a Brand X ad.
2To determine, count and attribute conversions. Cookies are being used to track if and when a user makes a purchase on an advertiser’s site. Example: a user clicks on an ad served by ClickDistrict. Once on the page the ad links to, the user makes a purchase. This purchase is counted and ClickDistrict receives a fee on every counted purchase.
When ClickDistrict drops a tracking cookie, it stores the following data points:
Unique User ID
Pixel ID
Behavioral segment ID (if any)
Page URL on which the pixel was shown
This info in anonymous and can in no way be linked to the user’s identity.
Next to the data that are been gathered by ClickDistrict through dropping our own cookies, third party data can also be used to optimize our campaigns. These third party data come from third party data providers that live up to current law and industry standards.
ClickDistrict cookies will be stored for 2 years after being dropped on a device.
Our technology does not collect any personally identifiable information about you during the ad delivery process. Accordingly, ClickDistrict is unable to provide access or the ability to change information stored by our technology.
Our technology uses cookies for ad selection in order to enhance ad effectiveness. ClickDistrict believes that cookies enhance your web experience by limiting the repetitiveness of advertising and increasing the level of relevant ads. Because some users may not want information to be collected by using cookies, we will only drop a cookie on your computer if you have opted-in for this. Currently the market is working on the best way to ask user permission for the dropping of cookies. As an IAB member ClickDistrict is keeping a close eye on the latest developments and will take appropriate measures when an industry-wide accepted standard becomes available.
