1. What we do
Adsquare offers a digital advertising technology platform that facilitates the creation and execution of targeting, measurement, and analysis for digital and location-based advertising campaigns. It provides a transparent and neutral data exchange platform that brings advertisers and data providers together in a fair, secure, and privacy-friendly way.
This helps companies to make their digital marketing campaigns more relevant, reducing the number of ads you see that aren’t beneficial or of interest to you and validating their effectiveness. An opt-out from targeting would not reduce the number of ads, it just makes the ads you receive less relevant.
