This provision authorizes cross-site behavioral tracking by Fastly's third-party advertising partner for interest-based advertising, with an opt-out available but limited in scope to interest-based ad targeting rather than ad delivery generally.
Under this clause, browsing activity on Fastly's websites may be used by third-party advertising partners to serve targeted advertisements on other sites.
