YOUR CHOICES

Viqtory engages in interest-based advertising activities, including cross-device linking, as described above. If you would like to stop receiving interest-based advertising from Viqtory on your browser, click here.
By doing so, Viqtory will replace your unique cookie with an “opt-out” cookie that will prevent us from serving you interest-based advertising. An opt-out choice means that we no longer use or transfer data from the opted out device for targeted advertisements, and we no longer use data collected on other devices to inform advertisements on that device. We will still collect and store information through such cookies for other purposes such as metrics and analytics and we may still serve you advertising, but it will not be tailored for you.
Because cookies are browser-specific, if you use more than one browser or device, you will need to make your opt-out choice on each browser or device that you use. To do so, point each browser that you use to this page, and click on the disable link above.
Please note that you will need to set the Viqtory opt-out cookie again in some cases, for example, under the following circumstances: You buy a new computer, delete cookies from your browser, or upgrade the browser of your existing computer.
