Real time bidding (how targeted ads work)

🗓️ Start: 19 August 2025 3:00 pm
⏳ End: 19 August 2025 5:00 pm

This month we look at the Real Time Bidding (RTB) system – this is the mechanism that provides targeted ads to your web pages and devices.  We’ll cover the basic mechanism, what data is held, how do they know it’s you, main companies involved, pros & cons and what can be done.

Plenty of time is reserved for discussions.

Joining details will be emailed to subscribers nearer the time.  If you aren’t a member, it’s free to join here https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-computing-forum/.

#EU #CJEU #GDPR #DataProtection #BigTech #AdTech #TargetedAds #OnlineTracking: "In a landmark decision on 7 March 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a groundbreaking judgment against online targeted ads prohibited by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This ruling has far-reaching implications for major platforms, including giants like Google and TikTok, that rely on the online personalised advertising industry as part of their business model. The Court recognised that invasive tracking and profiling cannot be sanctioned through ‘consent’ pop-ups, responding to a complaint that focused on the mechanisms facilitating the covert profiling and monitoring of the private activities of a majority of individuals across the digital realm. The court’s decision emphasised the need for stricter controls on the online tracking and advertising industry." https://edri.org/our-work/europes-highest-court-delivers-landmark-judgment-against-iab-europe-in-gdpr-consent-spam-pop-ups-case/

Everything advertised on social media is overpriced junk - “…stuff that's pushed to you via targeted ads costs an average of 10 percent more, and it significantly more likely to come from a vendor with a poor rating from the Better Business Bureau”.

#Pluralistic: Everything #advertised on #SocialMedia is overpriced junk (08 Apr 2023) – Pluralistic: Daily links from #CoryDoctorow

"Specifically, stuff that's pushed to you via #TargetedAds costs an average of 10 percent more, and it significantly more likely to come from a vendor with a poor rating from the #BetterBusinessBureau. This may seem trivial and obvious, but it's got profound implications for media, commercial surveillance, and the future of the #internet."
