How data brings you better ad experiences
We want to provide you with the best experience on our products. Sometimes, we show you personalised ads by making educated guesses about your interests based on your activity on our sites and products. For example, when you search for a film, we use your location to show the most relevant cinemas near you. We also use this information to show you ads for similar films you may like in the future. Learn more about how Oath uses this data.
You can customise your data sharing and use choices for the following sections by going to the 'Manage options' tab.
Get personalised ads from our trusted partners
This doesn't mean more ads, it means personalised ones. When you let our partners use cookies to collect similar data that we do on our sites, they can provide ads on our sites that they think match your interests, like deals related to products you love, and measure, report and analyse your interactions with them. Learn more about how our partners use this data.

To protect you against fraud and spam and provide you product features like easy access to photos and important docs, our technology automatically analyses your communications, including emails. By selecting 'OK', our technology will also analyse your communications to provide additional email features, like deals when you travel, and tailored content and ads across our network. Learn more here.
Select 'OK' to continue using our products, otherwise, you will not be able to access our sites and apps. Select 'Manage options' to set your data use and sharing choices with us and our partners. For more information and settings, go to Privacy Centre.
I really don't want Big Brother Yahoo tracking my activities and butting in with their adverts but it seems I can't access my emails unless I agree to this so I shall have to. I installed some advertisement blocker some months ago on advice on here. Will that frustrate Yahoo's intentions?
