We may show these ads to you when you are logged in or logged out of Twitter. They are clearly marked with a “Promoted” icon. You can interact with most promoted content in much the same way as organic content. If you follow, like, or Retweet content on Twitter, including promoted content, your followers may see your name associated with that content.<br/> </p> </div> </div> <div class="b02-rich-text twtr-rte twtr-component-space--md twtr-component"> <div class="b02__rich-text twtr-scribe-clicks-within b02__type--large " style=" --headline-color: var(--black-neutral); --paragraph-color: var(--dark-gray-neutral);" data-twtr-scribe-section="c02-rich-text-editor" data-twtr-scribe-element="1XI4"> <h4><b>Why you see certain Twitter Ads</b></h4> <p>Your activity on Twitter, the information you provide to Twitter, and our relationships with ad partners all help make promoted content more relevant for you.<br/> </p> <p>When you use Twitter to follow, Tweet, search, view, or interact with Tweets or Twitter accounts, we may use these actions to customize Twitter Ads for you. For example, if you search for a specific term, we may show you promoted content related to that topic. We also might customize ads using other information about you, such as your profile information; your mobile device location (if <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210507121301/https://support.twitter.com/articles/118492-how-to-use-the-location-feature-on-mobile-devices" target="_blank">location features</a> are turned on); your IP address; or the apps installed on your device. This helps us show you local ads and other ads that you might prefer.</p> <p>Twitter may also personalize ads based on information that Twitter and our affiliates collect and that our ad partners share with us, such as a hashed email address, a mobile device identifier, or browser-related information (a browser cookie ID).</p> <p>This helps Twitter display ads about things you’ve already shown interest in from brands and businesses that you may like. For example, you could receive a Promoted Ad about a deal or promotion from a business whose website you frequent, or email newsletter you subscribe to. You could also see this business as a Follower Ad in one of your "Who to Follow" suggestions.
