Pixel tracking (also called “cookie-based tracking” and “client-side tracking”) methods store a Appcarry session identifier in a user’s browser cookie on click. In postback tracking (also called “server-side tracking”), Appcarry directly sends a session identifier to the advertiser on click. On conversion, the advertiser then communicates that identifier to Appcarry for validation. Appcarry also supports server-to-server measurement for some clients. With any of the mentioned methods, when an end-user click on an advertisement, goes to a specific web page or mobile app action that a Client chooses to monitor, Appcarry collects information from the User’s computer or device, including but not limited to IP and Ad Identifiers.

If an end-user would like to opt-out of a particular ad network, publisher, or advertiser’s ads, they will need to contact those companies directly to inquire whether they have an opt-out option. End users can also disable the collection of Ad Identifiers for targeted advertising by enabling the Limit Ad Tracking setting on their smartphone. End users can also reset the Ad Identifier altogether using their smartphone’s privacy settings. End users should also note that Appcarry collects information on behalf of its clients. To opt-out, please see optoutmobile.com or contact the data controller directly. We will actively work with our clients to fulfil such requests as reasonable and required by law.
