Protect My Choices 作者： DAA, DAA

Helps preserve your options for interest-based ads from companies in the AdChoices self-regulatory program.

The AdChoices Protect My Choices (beta) extension helps preserve the opt-out choices you set on the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices consumer choice tool. The WebChoices tool uses cookies to store the choices you make on some browsers, and the PMC is designed to prevent the accidental deletion of those cookies.

New features in the PMC 2.1.9 (beta) extends your choices beyond cookies, so companies can honor your choices and preferences via a browser-based signal that does not require third-party cookies.

Some things you should know:

• The Protect My Choices extension is a data privacy tool. It will not block or stop ads. It will request that participating companies do not collect or use data for targeting of ads.
• Protect My Choices applies to the choices and preferences made through the WebChoices tool, which apply to interest-based advertising and other applicable uses of data by DAA participating companies. Once you install the extension, you will still receive other types of online advertising from participating companies, and the websites you visit may still collect information for other purposes, consistent with DAA Principles.
• As more companies join the DAA’s industry self-regulatory program, their opt-outs will be added to the Protect My Choices browser extensions. We suggest you pin the extension to your browser. Industry support for the new features will change over time as more and more companies adopt technology for responding to non-cookie-based choices and preferences. Please visit the Protect My Choices Extension periodically to review your choices or to update your choices to include new participating companies.
• The DAA program requires participating companies to clearly inform consumers about their data collection practices and to enable consumers to exercise control for interest-based ads. The DAA’s choice tools (WebChoices, Protect My Choices, YourAdChoices Token Tool, and AppChoices) serve as central elements of the program by offering consumers transparency around companies engaged in interest-based advertising and the ability to exercise choice from participating companies through a consistent, simple user experience
• These extensions and your choices and preferences apply only in the specific browser in which they were set or installed, so you should separately set your preferences for other browsers and for other devices you may use.
• The DAA tools use a short-duration first-party cookie (i.e. a cookie set by the website you are visiting) to allow the PMC to read and store your requests. Thus, first-party cookies must be supported by your browser for the PMC to read any choices or preferences made using our tools. First-party cookies are standard for all major browsers, unless you have customized your settings. Please note that the first-party cookie expires within seven days, please install the PMC as soon as possible.
• Installing the PMC without expressing your choices through DAA tools will not transmit or make those choices or preferences available to companies. Deleting, uninstalling or not updating the PMC may result in your requests not being readable. If you are updating from PMC 1.0 to PMC 2, prior selections will be automatically imported.
• The use of these browser extensions is governed by the Terms of Use and their individual licenses.

In certain scenarios, it may be necessary to restart your browser for this extension to properly set your opt-outs. If you clear your browsing history or remove cookies in your browser preferences, please quit your browser completely and reopen.
