Online advertising platforms

We may occasionally use third party advertising platform providers such as Google to serve advertisements to you. These third parties may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide you with advertising about products and services that may be of interest to you.

Sometimes we may provide information associated with you to specific third parties who operate other websites (such as social media platforms like Facebook) so that we can show you relevant adverts while you’re using those websites. This information will be protected so that you can only be identified if the third party already knows you – the information we provide only tells them that you’re a Death.io user.

You can configure your advertising preferences on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest by accessing your settings or preference options on the relevant platform. If you decide you don’t want to receive personalised advertising on any website you visit, you can usually opt out directly through the privacy policy of the particular website you are accessing.

Be aware though that disabling this personalisation of adverts through social platforms will not block ads that are displayed on the websites you visit; it will simply stop you receiving advertising that has been tailored to your interests. It’s also worth noting that this opt-out relies on a cookie, so if you wipe all your cookies then that website will no longer know that you have opted out. The same applies if you use a different internet browser, or use a new computer to access the internet.
