Mediavine Programmatic Advertising

StyleMingle.site partners with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising, a key monetization strategy for fashion and lifestyle publishers. Mediavine serves advertisements on our website, which may use first-party and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device to track browsing activity. First-party cookies are set by StyleMingle.site, while third-party cookies are set by external domains for advertising and analytics purposes.

Mediavine and its partners (e.g., Pubmatic, Criteo, LiveRamp, Amazon Publisher Services, AppNexus, OpenX, Verizon Media) may use cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and other technologies (collectively, “Tags”) to:

  • Monitor interactions with ads and website content.
  • Optimize ad delivery and performance.
  • Deliver targeted advertisements based on your interests, particularly relevant to fashion content.

These technologies may collect:

  • Usage Data: Information about your interactions with ads and our website (e.g., clicks on clothing or accessory ads).
  • Device Information: IP address, browser type, and device identifiers.
  • Geolocation Data: General location based on your IP address.
  • Referral Information: The URL of the referring website, if you arrived via a link.

Mediavine Partners may combine this data with information collected from other sources (e.g., advertising IDs, pixels) to deliver interest-based ads across your online experience, including different devices, browsers, and apps. They may also create unique IDs to segment audiences for targeted advertising. For example, if you view an article about sustainable fashion, you may see ads for eco-friendly clothing brands.

StyleMingle.site participates in affiliate marketing programs, such as the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, to earn commissions by linking to fashion-related products or services.
