Terms & Conditions
General terms and conditions
These are the terms and conditions that govern the relationship between EDAA and you whilst using the YourOnlineChoices website or accepting the YourOnlineChoices preference cookie.
The EDAA is a non-profit association (AiSBL) based in Brussels with company number BE 0846.790.105. Our registered office is at Rue des Deux Eglises 26 | 1000 Brussels.
The YourOnlineChoices website is available at www.youronlinechoices.eu, https://www.youronlinechoices.com, www.youronlinechoices.eu/uk/ and www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/. You may visit the YourOnlineChoices website directly via a link from a third party website or via the OBA Icon. The OBA Icon looks like this 
, and you may frequently see it within or around advertising that you see on web pages.
Within these terms “we” or “us” or “our” means us, EDAA; and “you” and “your” means you and any other person that accesses the YourOnlineChoices website or makes a choice regarding Online Behavioural Advertising through the consumer choice platform on YourOnlineChoices through your browser or device, or (in the case of businesses) accepts a preference cookie through a visitor’s choice.
You should also review our privacy policy https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/protecting-your-privacy which will apply as part of these general terms and conditions.
Your YourOnlineChoices preferences
One key function of the YourOnlineChoices website is to provide participating companies with your preferences in relation to Online Behavioural Advertising. We acknowledge your preferences and we pass them on to the advertising networks and other participating member companies listed on the YourOnlineChoices platform page https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
In order to use the YourOnlineChoices website it is necessary for each participating company to place a cookie on your web browser, the preference cookie, so that we may remember your selections. Details about cookies may be found on our privacy policy https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/protecting-your-privacy. If you use the YourOnlineChoices website using a different computer or web browser, or clear/delete your cookies then we will not be able to remember your preferences and you should go back to the YourOnlineChoices website to re-select your preferences. Further, the YourOnlineChoices website will not function properly if your browser is set to block cookies as your preferences cannot be saved without the use of the preference cookie.
Although we will use reasonable commercial endeavours to pass your preferences made on the YourOnlineChoices website to the relevant companies who are listed on the website at the time your preferences are made, the YourOnlineChoices website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and we make no representations, warranties, conditions, guarantees or other terms that your selections will be, or will remain effective. If your selections do not prove to be effective, then you may make a complaint and seek redress through the website, https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/make-a-complaint.
