What Is the Network Advertising Initiative?
The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) is a self-regulatory organization founded in 2000 that works to provide transparency and choice in online advertising. The NAI brings together companies that collectively account for a significant portion of digital advertising and establishes industry standards for consumer privacy.
By participating in the NAI's opt-out program, you can opt out of targeted advertising from multiple companies simultaneously. This opt-out is cookie-based, meaning it applies only to the browser and device you are using. If you delete your cookies or use a different device, you will need to opt out again.
Opting out through the NAI does not opt you out of advertising from companies that are not NAI members. Additionally, opt-outs are device- and browser-specific. Clearing cookies, switching devices, or using private browsing will reset your preferences. To maintain your opt-out, consider using a browser extension like the NAI's own Opt-Out Choice Tool.

Targeted Advertising Cookies
Used to serve you relevant ads across the web
Targeted advertising cookies are set by Aevum News and our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information directly but may be linked to data provided by third parties.
Content Personalization
Personalize your news feed and reading experience
Content personalization cookies allow us to remember your reading preferences, bookmarked articles, and topic interests. This enables us to curate a personalized news feed and surface content most relevant to you.
Social Media Tracking
Enable social sharing and cross-platform features
Social media cookies are set by platforms like X (Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube to enable social sharing features and may be used for cross-site tracking. Disabling these will remove social sharing buttons and may affect embedded content.
🌐 Global Opt-Out Across the Digital Advertising Industry
Use the NAI's Global Opt-Out tool to simultaneously opt out of targeted advertising from all NAI member companies at once. This is the most comprehensive way to protect your privacy across the digital advertising ecosystem.
Opt Out via NAI Global Tool →NAI Member Companies
The following are current members of the Network Advertising Initiative whose advertising cookies you can opt out of through the NAI's platform. Click any company to go directly to their opt-out page.
The NAI opt-out only applies to companies that are current members of the Network Advertising Initiative. Non-member companies may still track and serve you targeted advertisements. We recommend also using the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) Opt-Out for broader coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Opting out does not stop advertising entirely. It prevents the companies that are part of the NAI from using your browsing data to serve you targeted advertisements. You will still see ads on Aevum News and other sites, but they will no longer be tailored to your browsing behavior. Contextual ads (based on the content you're reading) will still be served.
Opt-outs through the NAI are stored in cookies that typically expire after 13 months. After expiration, you will need to opt out again. Additionally, if you clear your browser cookies, switch browsers, use a different device, or use private browsing mode, your opt-out preferences will be lost and you will need to re-opt out.
Mobile opt-out works differently from desktop. For mobile apps, you can opt out of ad tracking through your device settings: on iOS, go to Settings → Privacy → Advertising → Limit Ad Tracking; on Android, go to Settings → Google → Ads → Delete ad ID or Opt out of ad personalization. These settings are independent of your desktop browser preferences.
You can return to this page at any time to modify your advertising preferences. Toggle the controls above to enable or disable each category. You can also use the NAI Global Opt-Out tool or the DAA Consumer Opt-Out tool to manage your preferences across the broader industry.
No. Aevum News does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share anonymized, aggregated data with advertising partners to enable contextual and interest-based advertising. Individual user data is never sold. For complete details, please review our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.
