Reset Advertising ID on Android
-
The steps for resetting your ad ID and turning off ad personalization are essentially the same for all versions of Android, though things may vary slightly. Head to Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID and click OK when the confirmation screen appears. It would be best if you also wanted to make sure to opt-out of ads personalization. Or, on other versions of Android, it might say "Opt-out of interest-based ads," and you may find a toggle switch or checkbox to enable it.
Reset Advertising Identifier on iOS
-
On your iPhone or iPad, head to Settings > Privacy > Reset Advertising Identifier and then Reset Identifier when the prompt comes up. Just like with Android, here, you should also turn on the option to limit ad tracking.
How do I reset or limit Ad Tracking on mobile devices?

Your mobile device may be enabled to serve you targeted ads. If you are using an Apple device such as an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV you can turn off location-based ads provided by Apple. Instructions on how do this can be found here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074.

Tracking technologies and web beacons:
-
ITN may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has seen our advertisement. This allows us, for example, [to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one advertisement to another and to count the number of views].

We may collect non-personal information regarding your use of the Services through methods that are not apparent during use of the Services. Such information is collected through software tracking technologies described below.
Examples of non-personal information collected using tracking technologies include information about user activity, such as pages viewed, geographic location of visitors and/or devices used by visitors, among other examples.
In some cases, information regarding visitor activity may be considered personal information under applicable law, such the IP address associated with a visit to the Services which can in some situations act as a unique identifier for a user device. Where information collected in such manner constitutes personal information, it is subject to the provisions of this Policy governing all personal information.
If you do not want information collected in these ways, it may be possible for you to adjust settings on the devices you use to access the Services (e.g., a computer, smartphone or tablet). However, we cannot guarantee that such settings may be changed or will be effective and you assume all risks associated with your access to the Services.
