Type of Information

When we use the term “Information,” we are referring to data that is generated through our Services, as well as data that our clients and partners obtain from other sources and utilize within our Services. The specific details regarding the use of this Information are described further below. R2B2 processes the Information on behalf of its clients, and when doing so, R2B2 follows the instructions provided by its clients. R2B2 is obligated to adhere to these instructions while processing such data.

In order to operate the Services, the following may be used and collected.

Cookie ID: In order to link each single interaction to an individual device, R2B2 generates a unique device ID for each new device that interacts with any form of advertisement or website tracking. The unique device ID is stored locally as a cookie in the user’s browser. The cookie, by default, expires 6 months after the last interaction. The device ID either is generated as a truly random number or, in some cases, is combined with an ID generated by static and dynamic variables from the browser and device configuration.
Mobile Advertising ID: The mobile advertising ID is the technical ID in mobile application environments, such as on smartphone operating systems like Android and Apple IOS, that is under the full control of the user and owner of that device and that can be reset by the user.
Partner IDs: R2B2 is connected to many partners such as Adform, Equativ, Rubicon, Criteo, Xandr, Ströer, ConnectAd, and others. As part of this cooperation, pseudonymous IDs are exchanged between the cooperating partners during the

provision of Services. These IDs are strictly pseudonymous on both sides. ID synchronization is indispensable for the provision of the Services.

R2B2 also gathers and retains specific Information for our clients, which pertains to the interactions between users and advertisements as well as digital properties such as websites or mobile applications. The following types of data are collected.
