Personalised Advertising
To enable personal advertising (like contextual ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using tracker and other technologies. Those partners may have their own information they’ve collected about you. Switching off the targeted advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.
Customized advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a option to decline. Turning off relevant advertising allows you to exercise your right to opt out. Learn more in our Privacy statement, Support Centre, and Cookies and Analytics Policy.
