Ad Choices AOL Advertising UK Specific Information January 20, 2012 It’s more than an icon AOL is committed to industry efforts and standards to provide consumers with a better understanding of and greater control over ads that are customised based on their online behaviour. We have implemented the icon, an enhanced notice that clearly informs consumers about data collection and usage, which organisation served the ad, where to find advertising policies, and how to turn off such advertising in the future. UK Specific Information Page 2 Where will it appear? IAB guidance is to display the icon on all display advertising to promote awareness of consumer choices. It will appear on all display ads including rich media on our network. UK Specific Information Page 3 How does it work? An icon will be displayed in the creative which expands to show “AdChoices” (other languages supported). Clicking the icon takes the user to the youronlinechoices.com website where the user is presented with additional information and the ability to opt-out of behavioural advertising on our network. UK Specific Information Page 4 Why is this necessary? This is an industry wide initiative and as a member of the IAB and a participant on the IAB Behavioural Targeting Council, AOL has chosen to adopt this selfregulatory approach to raise consumer awareness and control. UK Specific Information Page 5 When will this happen? The icon is already available for use by our network, there are a number of ways to implement it, from adding to the flash creative, an overlay on a standard creative or by using a third party provider. We have partnered with TRUSTe and Evidon for our third party providers but are happy to work with others.

The icon will initially show in the rolledin state (icon only) and if a user hovers the mouse it will expand to show the text and icon (rolled-out). If the creative is expandable the icon showns only on the unexpanded state. If the rolled-out state takes up more than 10% of the creative then the rolled-in state can be retained with no expansion. The rolled-out state should never be wider then the creative. UK Specific Information Page 9
