About personalized ads
 

We work with ads partners to bring you more useful and interesting advertising content through interest-based advertising. For example, we may do this based on information that ad partners share with us. We hope that this increases the usefulness of Twitter Ads for you.

Here’s one way it would work. Let’s say a flower shop wants to advertise a Valentine’s Day special on Twitter. They’d prefer to show their ad to floral enthusiasts who subscribe to their newsletter. To get the special offer to those people who are using Twitter, the shop may share with us hashed emails from their mailing list. We can then match that to a hash of emails that our users have associated with their accounts in order to show them a Promoted Tweet for the Valentine’s Day deal on Twitter.

Another way this works is when a person visits the flower shop’s website. In that case, depending on technologies implemented by the shop’s website, Twitter may collect information through pixels and similar technologies that enable the shop owner to advertise through Twitter and reach those visitors with a Valentine’s Day offer. For more information about pixels and similar technologies we use, see our Cookie Policy. 

About Twitter marketing
 

In addition to helping advertisers to reach their audiences on Twitter, Twitter also works with third-party advertising partners, including Google, to market Twitter’s own services, including through the delivery of interest-based ads. These partners may also serve ads on behalf of Twitter advertisers. The privacy options described below apply to interest-based ads served by Twitter; they do not apply to ads served by these other companies, including on Twitter’s behalf. You can learn more about opting out of receiving interest-based ads from other companies at optout.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org/choices. If you are on the web, you can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on, and opt out of interest-based Google ads using Google’s Ads Settings.
 

What are my privacy options?

If you don't want Twitter to combine your activity on Twitter with other online activity from our partners to show you interest-based ads on and off of Twitter, there are several ways to turn off this feature:

• Using your Twitter settings, visit the Ads preferences settings and disable the Personalized ads setting.
  
• If you are on the web, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer choice tool at optout.aboutads.info to opt out of seeing interest-based advertising from Twitter in your current browser.
