IV. Third-Party Advertising and Targeted Advertising

• Some sites participate in online targeted advertising (this is also sometimes called re-target advertising or interest-based advertising). You can identify these sites by the “Advertising Choices” link in the footer. Our advertising network partners may place and use cookies on our Websites and on other third-party Website to collect information about your activities in order to provide you with online advertisements that are based on your interests. When an online targeted advertisement is delivered to you, you will see an “Ad Choices” icon. Clicking on the icon or link will take you to a Website where you can manage or opt out of the use of data about your browsing history that is used for the delivery of online behavioral advertisements. If you opt out, you may still see advertisements online, including advertisements from us that are based on other information (e.g., based on the content of the page being viewed rather than your prior clickstream activity). In some cases, data may still be collected about your browsing activity by these third-party advertisers, but they will not use this data to deliver advertisements that are based on your past online browsing behavior. You can also opt out now by clicking here.
• Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to Websites with which the browser communicates. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, an industry standard has not yet been established on how to respond to these signals. Therefore, Regeneron does not currently respond to these signals. As discussed above, you can opt-out from advertisers that use your browsing history to deliver online targeted advertisements by visiting youronlinechoices.
