Advertisers and Links to Other Sites

Donkey Comedy Network allows other companies, called third-party ad servers, to provide advertisements within the Donkey Comedy Network Site. These third-party ad servers send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Donkey Comedy Network Site. When this occurs, the third-party ad servers automatically receive your IP address. Additionally, they may use other technologies (e.g., cookies, or Web Beacons) to measure the impact of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising to your profile.

Please know that Donkey Comedy Network does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, should an advertiser ask Donkey Comedy Network to show an advertisement to a discrete audience (e.g., men ages 35-44) or audience segment (e.g., men ages 35-44 who have viewed certain content) and you respond to that advertisement, that may signal to the advertiser that you fit the profile of the target audience.  The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Donkey Comedy Network Site, (e.g., the number of times you viewed an ad), to determine which ads to deliver to you.

For more information, consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more information and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices. Donkey Comedy Network's privacy policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities of any other such other advertisers or web sites.
