Mercury's privacy policy was updated on August 22, 2026 to add 'Opens in new tab' annotations to three external links: the Google Analytics opt-out tool, the Network Advertising Initiative, and the Digital Advertising Alliance. The policy also made minor punctuation corrections. These changes are purely procedural and do not alter the substance of Mercury's privacy practices, data collection practices, or user opt-out rights.
This change does not materially affect how Mercury collects, uses, or protects your personal information. The policy continues to permit the same opt-out mechanisms for advertising tracking: Mercury's cookie preference tools, browser settings, device-level privacy settings, and third-party industry programs. The added 'Opens in new tab' labels are a formatting change that clarifies how external links will open in your browser, with no impact on your privacy rights or choices.
Added 'Opens in new tab' labels to three external privacy-related links for clarity.
