These third-party advertising servers or advertising networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or device, the advertisements and links that appear within the Services. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. We may provide such third parties with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that a certain number of women of a given demographic have clicked on their advertisement over a given time period). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach their target audience.
