What is the DoubleClick DART cookie?
The DoubleClick
DART cookie is used by Google in the ads served on publisher
websites displaying AdSense for content ads. When users visit an AdSense
publisher's website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be
dropped on that end user's browser. The data gathered from these cookies
will be used to help AdSense publishers better serve and manage the ads
on their site(s) and across the web.
What should I put in my privacy policy?
Your posted privacy policy should include the following information
about Google and the DoubleClick
DART cookie:
- Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to
serve ads on your site.
- Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to
serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other
sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie
by visiting the Google
ad and content network privacy policy.
Because publisher sites and laws across countries
vary, we're unable to suggest specific privacy policy language. However,
you may wish to review resources such as the Network
Advertising Initiative, or NAI, which suggests the following
language for data collection of non-personally identifying information:
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our
website. These companies may use information (not including your name,
address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this
and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you. If you would like more information about
this practice and to know your choices about not having this information
used by these companies, click here.
You can find additional information in Appendix A of the NAI
Self-Regulatory principles for publishers (PDF). Please note that
the NAI may change this sample language at any time.
