GAY AND YOU? runs advertising in various forms (banners, pop-ups, etc.) on its app, its own website and on third-party websites; to make the selection of the displayed advertising attractive and as relevant to interested visitors to the site as possible, a usage-related selection procedure is used for advertising placements. In so doing,

These usage profiles are anonymous and evaluated in a technical, statistical evaluation procedure, to later enable an advertising selection related to your interests. This procedure is also known as targeting. Targeting on our websites is operated by us and partly by third-party companies that also run advertising for other websites.

An evaluation is carried out only in aggregated form so that an allocation to your person and thus a behaviour anal- ysis is excluded.
