Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, "Tags") may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser's cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser's cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor's referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

YouTube API Services

BioExplorer.net uses YouTube API Services in BioExplorer Uploader. This is a private tool that uploads our own videos to the BioExplorer YouTube channel. Only the site owner uses it.

By using any feature that relies on YouTube API Services, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. YouTube is a Google service. To learn how Google collects and uses information, see the Google Privacy Policy.

What information we access

BioExplorer Uploader accesses only the BioExplorer YouTube channel, after the channel owner signs in with Google. It uses YouTube API Services to:

  • Upload our own videos
  • Set each video’s title, description, tags, category, audience setting and publish time
  • Upload a custom thumbnail for each video
  • Add our videos to our own playlists

It does not access, collect or store any information about our site visitors or other YouTube users.

How we use and store information

We use this access only to publish our own videos. We store two things on the channel owner’s computer:

  • The Google sign-in token that lets the tool upload to our channel
  • A log of the video IDs and upload dates of our own videos, so the same video is not uploaded twice

BioExplorer Uploader does not place cookies or store any information on visitors’ devices.

How we share information

We do not share, sell or transfer any information obtained through YouTube API Services to anyone.

Revoking access and deleting data

Access can be revoked at any time on the Google security settings page. When access is revoked, we delete the stored sign-in token. To ask us to delete any stored data, contact us through our Contact Us page. We delete it within 7 days of your request.
