Advertising on Our Raleigh
Our current ad spaces display local sponsorships selected by the publisher. They are not personalized using your browsing history. We do not currently run a behavioral advertising network or advertising tracking pixels.
How advertising is measured
An impression is counted when at least half of an ad is visible for one second while the page is active. An ad-link open is counted when its signed link is requested; a click count is not proof of a purchase or a unique reader. A temporary token identifies the rendered ad and placement, not a person. Tokens expire after two hours, and the server stores a token hash temporarily to avoid counting the same event twice. Counts are aggregated by advertiser, placement and day. No advertising cookie or browser-storage identifier is used, and the counts are not used for personalized advertising. Blocking scripts prevents impression measurement; ordinary server logs may still record page and link requests.
Your choice on this site
There are no advertising cookies to opt into or out of in the current application. You can review and save an essential-only cookie choice below. This does not hide local sponsor placements.
Choices on other websites
The Digital Advertising Alliance offers independent tools for choices about interest-based advertising from participating companies. These tools apply to their participants and do not remove all ads. Their settings are separate from Our Raleigh’s cookie preferences.
