Privacy is an important issue for smartclip. We feel obliged to follow the strict provisions of data protection regulations. This also means that we offer our customers and users improved transparency and control in the use of digital video advertising.

It is possible to use our site without activating cookies, however, this means that not all features are available. Most browsers are set by default to automatically accept cookies. You can deactivate the storing of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent.

The targeting of the video content of websites marketed by smartclip is operated by third parties, which also operate advertising for websites from other providers. These third parties then create so-called user profiles by means of cookies and use their respective targeting systems to analyze the data that is collected for the purpose of selecting user-oriented advertising.

With the help of these targeting systems, it is possible for different target groups to receive the advertising that is most relevant to them. This also benefits you because it means it is possible to minimize the distraction resulting from advertising that is irrelevant to you and to control the number of advertisements.

For this reason we set a cookie on ad.smartclip.net that controls the frequency of advertisements within a campaign. You can delete this cookie from your browser settings.

Moreover, you can object to the use of behavioural targeting by the companies mentioned. Please use the following links:
