Remarketing (aka Targeted or Interest-Based Advertising): Solatube International websites use third party vendors, including Google, to serve you ads based on your viewing history. For example, Google AdWords may show you ads that relate to the pages you visited or content you viewed while on our website. The system does this by placing a cookie on your web browser.

This activity merely allows us to customize our marketing to better suit your needs and interests. The result is that you only see ads that are most relevant to you.

If you do not wish to see ads from Solatube International, you can opt out in several ways:

1. Opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

This may include, but is not limited to: domain names (i.e., adelphia.net), IP addresses (i.e., 209.126.53.25), browser usage, referring page, what keywords are used to find us, what websites send us traffic, which pages of the website are viewed the most, which browsers are most popular, what page a visitor comes in on and what page they leave on, what time of day is the busiest, and search engine referrer of visitors. Solatube International uses data from Google’s Interest-based advertising or 3rd-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics.

Your California Privacy Rights: California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, please note that under the law, a business is not required to provide this information if it permits California residents to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing. Solatube International qualifies for this alternative option. As described above, we will not share information about you with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent. In addition, you can request that we stop future disclosures of your information for direct marketing purposes by contacting a Solatube International Customer Care Representative.
