What Is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such, as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, Thoroughbrand does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.
How Are Cookies Used for Advertising Purposes?
Cookies and other ad technology such as pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you.
Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third-party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by Thoroughbrand may also set third-party cookies.
Which Third-Party Cookies Does Thoroughbrand Use?
Thoroughbrand uses some the third-party cookies on our sites. Please note that the names of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change over time. Please also note that companies and other organizations that sponsor pages on Thoroughbrand may use cookies, pixels or other technologies on their Thoroughbrand pages to learn about your interest in them.
Controlling Cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
