This helps us remind you of our services or promote new features that might interest you.
- Ad Networks:
- We may share Usage Information with third-party ad networks to help deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests. These ad networks may use cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior and preferences. They may then display ads based on that information. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads by adjusting your browser settings or using industry opt-out tools (see Section 6.4 below).
6.3. Social Media and Third-Party PlatformsKoabiz may use social media platforms (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter) and other third-party platforms to deliver ads or interact with users. When you engage with us on these platforms (e.g., by liking a post, following our page, or clicking on an ad), we may collect information about your activity and use it to enhance our marketing efforts.
- Social Media Pixels:
- We may place pixels from social media platforms on our website to track user engagement and measure the effectiveness of our social media ads. For example, Facebook and LinkedIn pixels allow us to understand how users who clicked on our ads engage with the Platform and whether they complete specific actions (such as signing up for an account or requesting a demo).
- Third-Party Integrations:
- Koabiz may also integrate with third-party platforms, such as CRM systems or email marketing tools, to streamline our advertising and marketing processes. These integrations help us deliver more personalized and relevant content to users based on their interactions with our services.
6.4. Managing Cookie Preferences and Opting OutYou have control over how cookies and other tracking technologies are used when you visit the Koabiz Platform. Here are some ways you can manage your preferences:

- Opting Out of Targeted Ads:
- You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from Koabiz and our third-party partners by using industry opt-out tools, such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). These tools allow you to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. However, opting out of targeted ads does not mean you will stop seeing ads entirely; it means the ads you see will not be tailored to your interests.

6.5. Do-Not-Track (DNT) SignalsSome web browsers offer a “Do-Not-Track” (DNT) feature that allows users to signal that they do not want their online activity to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. As a result, Koabiz does not respond to DNT signals at this time.However, you can still manage your preferences for cookies and tracking technologies as described above, and we encourage you to use these options to control how your data is collected.6.6.
