to save their lives, but the offensive U S Israel
6
00:00:17,879 –> 00:00:21,839
military war or combat on Iran continued, saying the joint
7
00:00:21,920 –> 00:00:26,760
military operations code named Operation Epic Fury, has destroyed hundreds
8
00:00:26,760 –> 00:00:30,920
of Iranian targets since the military action began on February
9
00:00:30,920 –> 00:00:34,439
twenty eight, twenty twenty six, including the killing of the
10
00:00:34,479 –> 00:00:38,880
Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Kamane, and the new joint
11
00:00:38,880 –> 00:00:41,679
war against Iran has resulted to the killing of more
12
00:00:41,719 –> 00:00:46,280
than two hundred Iranian civilians and military personnel with thousands
13
00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:49,719
of people injured, while over twelve persons have been killed
14
00:00:49,799 –> 00:00:54,560
so far in Israel, with estimated five hundred people sustaining injuries,
15
00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:57,840
and the war has forced Iran to launch counter attacks
16
00:00:57,880 –> 00:01:01,759
on U S military bases in Barnes Reign, Kuwait, Qatar,
17
00:01:02,119 –> 00:01:06,959
and the United Arab Emirates UAE. This Iran foreign Minister
18
00:01:07,359 –> 00:01:11,200
ABIs Arachi had said Iran will not surrender, stating that
19
00:01:11,519 –> 00:01:15,560
despite the massive air strikes on Tehran, Iran’s military capability
20
00:01:15,640 –> 00:01:19,760
remains intact, adding Iran was able to retaliate faster than
21
00:01:19,799 –> 00:01:23,200
it did in the twenty twenty five Twelve Day War
22
00:01:23,599 –> 00:01:27,400
and that its mosaic defense doctrine makes it resilient to
23
00:01:27,480 –> 00:01:32,799
infrastructure damage. Arachi called the killing of Kamenee absolutely unprecedented
24
00:01:32,840 –> 00:01:36,480
and a major violation of international law, warning it had
25
00:01:36,480 –> 00:01:40,760
made the conflict even more dangerous and more complicated, saying
26
00:01:41,040 –> 00:01:45,079
Kamenee was not only Iran’s political leader, but a high
27
00:01:45,159 –> 00:01:48,879
ranking religious leader for millions of Muslims even outside of
28
00:01:48,920 –> 00:01:52,799
Iran across the region, pointing to protests that had erupted
29
00:01:52,799 –> 00:01:56,400
in Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere where the leader had followers.
30
00:01:56,599 –> 00:02:00,560
In line with this, Al Jazeera News media also reported
31
00:02:00,640 –> 00:02:04,200
some minutes ago that Iranian missiles have been seen over
32
00:02:04,359 –> 00:02:08,599
Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank, reportedly breaking through
33
00:02:08,759 –> 00:02:12,800
Israel’s defense system, with Iran saying it is targeting Israeli
34
00:02:12,840 –> 00:02:18,319
military facilities. In the six minutes nationwide video broadcast, President
35
00:02:18,360 –> 00:02:21,960
Donald Trump called on members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards
36
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:26,400
to surrender their weapons or face certain deaths, saying the
37
00:02:26,479 –> 00:02:29,360
death of the three American soldiers killed in action will
38
00:02:29,400 –> 00:02:33,039
be avenged by taking more punishing actions against the enemies.
39
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:37,400
President Donald Trump said there will likely be additional American
40
00:02:37,479 –> 00:02:40,639
deaths during the combat mission in Iran, which he said
41
00:02:40,639 –> 00:02:45,560
would continue until the US achieves its objectives. Combat operations
42
00:02:45,639 –> 00:02:48,960
continue at this time in full force, and they will
43
00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:52,680
continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have
44
00:02:52,879 –> 00:02:56,039
very strong objectives, he said in a video posted to
45
00:02:56,080 –> 00:03:01,000
truth social without specifying in detail what those objectives. According
46
00:03:01,039 –> 00:03:05,479
to CNN, President Trump said nine Iranian ships have been
47
00:03:05,520 –> 00:03:09,360
destroyed so far in the Operation Epic Fury. In an
48
00:03:09,360 –> 00:03:13,520
earlier social media post, Trump said, I have just been
49
00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:17,319
informed that we have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships,
50
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,879
some of them relatively large and important. We are going
51
00:03:20,919 –> 00:03:23,680
after the rest. They will soon be floating at the
52
00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:28,159
bottom of the sea. Also, President Trump also said during
53
00:03:28,159 –> 00:03:31,360
the broadcast that the Iranian people are now celebrating on
54
00:03:31,439 –> 00:03:33,919
the streets in Iran over the killing of the Iran
55
00:03:34,039 –> 00:03:37,919
Supreme Leader Itola Ali Kamene, whom he described as a
56
00:03:37,960 –> 00:03:40,919
man behind the killing of thousands of Americans and the
57
00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:45,199
route behind terrorism in the world. Iran also confirmed the
58
00:03:45,280 –> 00:03:50,520
killing of the Supreme leader Kamene’s daughter, granddaughter, son in law,
59
00:03:50,919 –> 00:03:53,919
and daughter in law in the US Israel joint military
60
00:03:53,960 –> 00:03:58,280
air bombardments in Tehran. Iran News Daily reported that the
61
00:03:58,319 –> 00:04:03,280
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad barger Gellibaf said, we have prepared
62
00:04:03,280 –> 00:04:06,919
ourselves for all scenarios and plans have even been made
63
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:11,080
for after that martyrdom of Imam Kamenae, you will see
64
00:04:11,080 –> 00:04:14,520
that with the formation of a leadership council, authority will
65
00:04:14,520 –> 00:04:18,279
take shape among the people and officials. The media also
66
00:04:18,360 –> 00:04:22,240

00:04:40,720 –> 00:04:45,720
Abraheim Zolfahi, said Iran will not bouter America. The enemies
73
00:04:45,720 –> 00:04:48,480
are delusional if they think they can defeat Iran by
74
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:52,000
assassinating the leader of the revolution and the Islamic Republic.
75
00:04:52,759 –> 00:04:56,879
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s Corps I r g C also

provinces in Iran since the war began on Saturday. Nigeria
88
00:05:42,920 –> 00:05:46,920
Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has also reacted to the
89
00:05:46,959 –> 00:05:51,600
death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Kamenei, describing him
90
00:05:51,600 –> 00:05:56,040
as a lucky soul who died in jihad. In a
91
00:05:56,079 –> 00:05:59,600
post shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, Gumi said
92
00:05:59,639 –> 00:06:03,480
Kamani died in jihad against killers of innocent children and
93
00:06:03,560 –> 00:06:07,639
women in Gaza and elsewhere. He added that Kamenee’s blood
94
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:10,600
will fuel the change in the Uma, noting that the
95
00:06:10,639 –> 00:06:13,879
Iranian leader stood firmly for justice and did not hide
96
00:06:13,920 –> 00:06:19,160
in bunkers. Gumi wrote, Iatollah Ali Komenee a lucky soul.
97
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:22,560
He died in jihad against killers of innocent children and
98
00:06:22,600 –> 00:06:26,120
women in Gaza and elsewhere. His blood will fuel the
99
00:06:26,240 –> 00:06:29,319
change in the Uma. He stood firmly for justice and
100
00:06:29,399 –> 00:06:32,519
didn’t hide in bunkers. For those who killed him or
101
00:06:32,560 –> 00:06:35,399
assisted in killing him, let us see what they will
102
00:06:35,439 –> 00:06:39,079
live to do in this world. Iran State Television has
103
00:06:39,079 –> 00:06:42,720
announced a forty day morning period and seven public holidays
104
00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:46,000
in his honor. With the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader,
105
00:06:46,360 –> 00:06:48,839
his path and mission neither will be lost nor will
106
00:06:48,839 –> 00:06:51,920
be forgotten. On the other hand, they will be pursued
107
00:06:51,959 –> 00:06:56,759
with greater vigor and zeal. A presenter said. Kamenee eighty
108
00:06:56,839 –> 00:07:00,800

service members were killed and five others seriously injured in
111
00:07:08,160 –> 00:07:14,079
combat operations. Iran has launched extensive counter attacks, firing hundreds
112
00:07:14,120 –> 00:07:17,759
of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, hitting areas like
113
00:07:17,839 –> 00:07:20,839
Bait Shamesh and Tel Aviv, and U S military bases
114
00:07:20,879 –> 00:07:25,879
in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. Over two hundred
115
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:29,160

118
00:07:36,079 –> 00:07:39,959
twenty six war follows the twelve Day War on June
119
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:44,000
thirteen to twenty four, twenty twenty five, a prior direct
120
00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:48,439
military confrontation between Israel, the US, and Iran that ended
121
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:52,560
in a ceasefire. The twenty twenty five conflict was triggered
122
00:07:52,560 –> 00:07:56,800
by Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. It involved over
123
00:07:56,879 –> 00:08:00,920
one thousand, five hundred Iranian missiles and drones fire at Israel.
124
00:08:01,639 –> 00:08:05,480
The US thereafter conducted Operation Midnight Hammer in June twenty
125
00:08:05,560 –> 00:08:09,519
twenty five, using B two stealth bombers to strike nuclear
126
00:08:09,560 –> 00:08:14,120
sites at Fordo, Natans and Isfahan. As of March second,

128
00:08:18,160 –> 00:08:21,160
at least twelve people have been killed in Israel since
129
00:08:21,199 –> 00:08:25,240
the current conflict with Iran escalated on February twenty eighth.
130
00:08:25,839 –> 00:08:29,639
The deadliest single incident occurred in the central Israeli town
131
00:08:29,759 –> 00:08:33,399
on March first, where an Iranian ballistic missile struck a
132
00:08:33,440 –> 00:08:37,840
residential building, killing nine people. One woman was killed by
133
00:08:37,879 –> 00:08:41,720
falling shrapnel during strikes on Saturday, February twenty eighth in
134
00:08:41,720 –> 00:08:45,440
Tel Aviv. Over five hundred people have been reported injured
135
00:08:45,480 –> 00:08:49,480
across the country due to missile impacts, shrapnel, or accidents
136
00:08:49,519 –> 00:08:50,519
while seeking shelter.
137
00:08:51,679 –> 00:08:55,519
Speaker 2: Over the past thirty six hours, the United States and
138
00:08:55,559 –> 00:09:01,039
its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury, one of the largest,
139
00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:07,279
most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen.
140
00:09:07,320 –> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: Nobody’s seen anything like it.
141
00:09:10,159 –> 00:09:15,399
Speaker 2: We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary
142
00:09:15,440 –> 00:09:18,960
Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems.
143
00:09:19,080 –> 00:09:20,519
Speaker 3: Just now was.
144
00:09:20,519 –> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: Announced that we knocked out nine ships plus the naval building,
145
00:09:26,200 –> 00:09:32,120
all in a matter of literally minutes. Iran’s formerly supreme leader,
146
00:09:33,320 –> 00:09:40,039
Ayatola Amene is dead. This wretched and vile man had
147
00:09:40,039 –> 00:09:44,879
the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on
148
00:09:44,919 –> 00:09:49,320
his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless
149
00:09:49,360 –> 00:09:53,360
thousands of innocent people all across many countries.
150
00:09:54,440 –> 00:09:56,759
Speaker 3: Last night all over Iran.
151
00:09:56,960 –> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: The voices of the Iranian people could be heard hearing
152
00:10:00,399 –> 00:10:05,399
and celebrating in the streets when his death was announced.
153
00:10:06,080 –> 00:10:10,440
The entire military command is gone as well, and many
154
00:10:10,480 –> 00:10:14,840
of them want to surrender into saving their lives. They
155
00:10:14,879 –> 00:10:21,720
want immunity. They’re calling by the thousands. Combat operations continue
156
00:10:21,759 –> 00:10:25,000
at this time in full force, and they will continue
157
00:10:25,120 –> 00:10:27,720
until all of our objectives are achieved.
158
00:10:27,799 –> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: We have very strong objectives.
159
00:10:31,279 –> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: They could have done something two weeks ago, but they
160
00:10:33,559 –> 00:10:38,399
just couldn’t get there. Earlier today, Sentcam shared the news
161
00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:42,559
that three US military service members have been killed in action.
162
00:10:43,919 –> 00:10:48,120
As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots
163
00:10:48,120 –> 00:10:53,120
who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even
164
00:10:53,159 –> 00:10:56,879
as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave
165
00:10:56,960 –> 00:10:57,559
their lives.
166
00:10:58,679 –> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: We pray for the full recos recovery of the.
167
00:11:00,840 –> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: Wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to
168
00:11:05,279 –> 00:11:07,279
the families of the fallen.
169
00:11:08,279 –> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 3: And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.
170
00:11:12,639 –> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: That’s the way it is likely be more, but will
171
00:11:15,960 –> 00:11:20,480
do everything possible where that won’t be the case. But
172
00:11:20,600 –> 00:11:24,799
America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing
173
00:11:24,840 –> 00:11:30,080
blow to the terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization.
174
00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: They have waged war against civilization itself.
175
00:11:35,879 –> 00:11:40,759
Speaker 2: Our resolved likewise, that of Israel has never been stronger.
176
00:11:40,799 –> 00:11:45,240
America is now again the richest, most powerful nation in
177
00:11:45,279 –> 00:11:49,000
the world by far. But the only reason we enjoy
178
00:11:49,120 –> 00:11:51,600
the quality of life that we do and the freedom
179
00:11:51,679 –> 00:11:56,399
and security is we have done things that others are
180
00:11:57,000 –> 00:12:01,360
unable to do. But it’s because of warriors who are
181
00:12:02,039 –> 00:12:05,600
willing to lay down their lives to do battle with
182
00:12:05,720 –> 00:12:10,879
our enemies, and they do battle better than anybody. An
183
00:12:10,919 –> 00:12:15,919
Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons
184
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:19,440
would be a dire threat to every American. We cannot
185
00:12:19,480 –> 00:12:24,799
allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons,
186
00:12:24,960 –> 00:12:29,279
would allow them to extort the world to their evil.
187
00:12:29,320 –> 00:12:30,879
Speaker 3: Will not going to let it happen.
188
00:12:31,320 –> 00:12:33,799
Speaker 2: We’re not happening to us, and we’re not going to
189
00:12:33,879 –> 00:12:37,440
let it happen to others. The United States says the
190
00:12:37,519 –> 00:12:41,919
strongest military the world has ever seen. I rebuilt our
191
00:12:41,960 –> 00:12:45,960
military in my first term. There’s never been a military
192
00:12:47,120 –> 00:12:51,840
like we possess, and frankly, there’s nobody even close. But
193
00:12:52,519 –> 00:12:55,679
we are now using that military for good. We want
194
00:12:55,679 –> 00:12:59,919
to have it for good purpose. We’re undertaking this massive
195
00:13:00,080 –> 00:13:05,039
operation not merely to ensure security for our own time
196
00:13:05,120 –> 00:13:08,360
and place, but for our children and their children, just
197
00:13:08,440 –> 00:13:13,000
as our ancestors have done for us many, many years ago.
198
00:13:14,320 –> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: This is the duty and the burden of a free people.
199
00:13:18,679 –> 00:13:22,039
Speaker 2: These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure
200
00:13:22,080 –> 00:13:27,159
that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty
201
00:13:27,399 –> 00:13:30,840
terrorist regime armed with nuclear.
202
00:13:30,360 –> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: Weapons and lots of threats.
203
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: For almost fifty years, these wicked extremists have been attacking
204
00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:42,600
the United States while chanting the slogan death to America
205
00:13:42,759 –> 00:13:46,399
or death to Israel or both. They are the world’s
206
00:13:46,519 –> 00:13:50,159
number one state sponsor of terror. We are the world’s
207
00:13:50,159 –> 00:13:53,039
greatest and most powerful nation, so we can do.
208
00:13:52,960 –> 00:13:54,519
Speaker 3: Something about what they do.
209
00:13:55,480 –> 00:14:00,799
Speaker 2: These intolerable threats will not continue any longer. I once
210
00:14:00,840 –> 00:14:06,840
again urged the Revolutionary Guard the Iranian military police to
211
00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:09,879
lay down your arms and receive full immunity or face
212
00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:10,639
certain death.
213
00:14:11,240 –> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: It will be certain, death won’t be pretty.
214
00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:18,879
Speaker 2: I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom
215
00:14:19,679 –> 00:14:23,879
to seize this moment to be brave, be bold, be heroic,
216
00:14:24,559 –> 00:14:28,200
and take back your country. America is with you. I
217
00:14:28,279 –> 00:14:31,399
made a promise to you and I fulfilled that promise.
218
00:14:32,279 –> 00:14:34,879
The rest will be up to you, but will be
219
00:14:34,960 –> 00:14:38,919
there to help. Thank you, God bless you to our
220
00:14:39,080 –> 00:14:49,519
incredible warriors, and God bless the United States of America.

These purposes are part of the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework.
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
