F. Opting Out of Third-Party Tailored Advertising

In some games that serve third-party ads we provide you a toggle button enabling you to disable third-party tailored ads. For more information about tailored advertising and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering tailored web and mobile web advertising you can visit www.aboutads.info To opt out, for businesses that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance, you can exercise that option at www.networkadvertising.org/choices and www.aboutads.info/choices. If you live in the EU, you can get information and exercise your choices at www.youronlinechoices.com.

These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not PiKL Worldwide. PiKL Worldwide does not control, operate, or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools. They are listed here only as a convenience for players.

In addition, if you do not want to receive third-party tailored in-application advertisements, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device. You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (like an IDFA) from your device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous “Advertising Identifier.” Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “AppChoices” app, that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not PiKL Worldwide. PiKL Worldwide does not control, operate or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

Please note that you may still receive advertisements from third parties within PiKL Worldwide’s games even if you opt out of tailored advertising but they will not be based on your activity across unrelated web sites or apps.
