Banner|Aetna (sometimes referred to as "we" "us" or "our") allows third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Applications and other websites and software applications, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information.

Through the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"), the leading media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program (the “Program”) to give consumers a better understanding of and greater control over ads that are customized based on their online behavior across different Web Sites. Banner|Aetna adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance's self-regulatory principles for online behavioral advertising (www.AboutAds.info).

The Digital Advertising Alliance maintains a web site where consumers can opt out from receiving interest-based advertising from some or all of the network advertising companies participating in the program (www.AboutAds.info/choices).
