Advertisements may be personalised based on information such as previous activity, interests, or other permitted signals where you have provided the required consent.

Where personalised advertising is not permitted or appropriate consent has not been provided, limited or other forms of advertising may be displayed where supported and legally permitted.

RexMagazine does not directly control how Google independently processes information under Google’s own privacy practices.

Visitors should review Google’s privacy information to understand how Google processes data in connection with its advertising services.

The consent message may allow eligible visitors to:

You may be able to review or change your privacy choices through the privacy or consent controls made available on the website.

8. Personalised and Non-Personalised Advertising

Depending on your location, consent choices, and applicable law, RexMagazine may display personalised, non-personalised, or limited advertisements.

Personalised Advertising

Personalised advertisements may use information about interests, previous activity, or other permitted signals to display advertisements considered more relevant to you.

Where legally required, personalised advertising will be subject to appropriate consent.

Non-Personalised or Limited Advertising

Non-personalised advertisements are generally selected using contextual information rather than a profile based on previous activity.

Certain technologies may still be used for purposes such as fraud prevention, security, frequency management, and aggregated advertising measurement where legally permitted.

The exact advertising experience may depend on your consent choices and the advertising services available in your region.

9. Third-Party Advertising Partners

Google and other approved advertising technology providers may participate in the delivery, measurement, security, or management of advertisements displayed on RexMagazine.

These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal responsibilities.

Where required, information about relevant advertising technology providers may be made available through our consent management interface or the advertising provider’s privacy information.

13. International Data Transfers

Some third-party service providers, including advertising and technology providers, may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

Where applicable data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, relevant service providers or parties may rely on recognised transfer mechanisms, adequacy regulations, contractual safeguards, or other legally permitted measures.

The privacy practices and international data transfer arrangements of independent third-party providers are governed by their respective policies and legal obligations.
