1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that can be stored by your browser. Cookies are used to make Our Websites and products work, or work in a better, more efficient way. Cookies make using Our Websites easier by, among other things, saving a user’s login preferences. Cookies also help to provide more relevant content and advertising. When you visit one of Our Websites, Vibrant may place one or more cookies onto your browser.
2. VIBRANT MEDIA COOKIES
We serve content and advertisements on Our Websites that we believe are more likely to be of interest to you, based on information about your visit to one or more of Our Websites in our network (this is called “interest matching”). This information does not include your name, street address, e-mail address or telephone number. In order to do this, we may place cookies on your browser.
The following is a list of the main cookies set by Vibrant on Our Websites, and a description of many of the purposes for which we may use cookies.

- This cookie opts the user out of collection for interest-matching advertising. If the cookie is present, no VM_ID cookie will be placed on the browser or device.
3. COOKIES SET BY THIRD-PARTIES
Third parties including advertisers, ad networks, and other entities may use the Vibrant Network to serve advertising content directly onto Our Websites. These entities may use cookies and other technologies to provide this advertising content. Vibrant does not have access or control of cookies or other technologies used by third parties. Some of these entities may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Program. To learn more about these participating companies, visit www.aboutads.info.
Vibrant works with publisher websites that may set cookies on their own websites. To find out more about the cookies which may be set by a website publisher, please refer to the website publisher’s own privacy policy.
4. THIRD-PARTY IP ADDRESS PROCESSING ACTIVITIES
We may also process IP addresses to collect other information in order to display more geographically targeted advertisements to you, to limit the number of times you see advertisements, and fraud detection. This may include data about the country, city or region where you are located and the domain name from which you are accessing the internet (e.g. what ISP you use). We then place advertisements onto Our Websites that we believe people in advertising segment will find relevant.
5. INTEREST MATCHING, OBA AND OPTING OUT
We may use cookies on Our Websites for the purposes of interest matching to make the online advertisements you see more relevant to you. If you would like to find out how to opt out from interest matching by Vibrant Media for this browser or device, please click here.

Once you opt-out, you will continue to receive ads but they may no longer be as relevant to you. If you opt-out through the links set out above, you should not delete your cookies. If you delete your cookies, install a new browser, or use a different browser type, you may need to opt-out again. Please note that deleting cookies or disabling future cookies may alter the functionality of Our Websites and relevancy of your online experience. This means that you may be unable to access certain areas or features of Our Websites or receive relevant advertising and it will mean that any settings such as your stored username and password may have to be reset.
