Further, the Policy contains instructions to our publishers on how to notify Users about Tradedoubler's services on their websites.

The fundamental integrity principle underlying all Tradedoubler's processing of digital data relating to Users, is that such data shall be anonymous. Therefore, we do not store IP addresses on the cookie of a User, only a unique randomly generated ID that does not allow Tradedoubler to identify the User; we do not have, and will not initiate, any co-operation with Internet Service Providers in order to identify Users. The data stored on the cookie is limited to information collected at the User's visits to websites belonging to Tradedoubler's Advertising Network.
