IAB Launches Consumer Education Campaign About Behavioral Advertising
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), which is made up of media and technology companies that sell online advertising, recently launched a consumer education campaign about behavioral advertising. The campaign uses online ads with eye-catching content such as "Advertising is Creepy." The ads link to the IAB's Privacy Matters page, which contains information about online advertising that is organized by categories such as: (1) Understanding Online Advertising; (2) How is My Online Privacy Protected?; (3) How Can I Protect Myself Online?; and (4) Understanding and Managing Cookies.
Online publishers are donating ad space for the campaign, and currently 500 million impressions have been promised.
