We recognize Global Opt-out mechanisms and accordingly FamousDots opt-out Mechanism will only opt you out of tailored marketing/promotional activities delivered by FamousDots in this browser or in mobile applications on this device (e.g., phones, tablets). It will not opt you out of tailored marketing/promotional activities delivered by FamousDots in other devices or in other browsers you use. To opt-out from other browsers and devices, you will need to repeat the opt-out process in such browsers and devices separately.
- If you block the opt-out cookie or your browser is configured to block third-party cookies, then the FamousDots opt-out cookie may not work.
- If you opt-out, you may still see marketing/promotional activities, including contextually tailored ads (i.e., ads tailored to the current app or website you are viewing) and ads based on your current location. They just may not be relevant to your interests. FamousDots may also continue to collect and share the data identified above and use such data for purposes other than delivering personalized ads.
- If cookies are cleared or deleted in your browser, this may inadvertently remove the FamousDots opt-out cookie, and you may need to renew your opt-out choice for that browser. Similarly, if your device’s ad identifier is reset, you will need to renew your opt-out choice for that particular device. Attempting to clear your cookies or disable cookies in lieu of using the FamousDots opt-out Mechanism may be ineffective, as FamousDots uses multiple methods to identify your browser or device.
