Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).

Illustrations

  • A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
  • A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.

Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.

Illustrations

  • If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
  • An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.

  • You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
  • You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.

Legitimate Interest

Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.

Illustrations

  • You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
  • You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.

Illustrations

  • You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
  • You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.

Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).

Illustrations

  • The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
  • An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.

  • A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
  • A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.

C-section recovery with toddler

I have a C section booked in 3 days and have a 2 year old. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle recovery with your toddler at home. I don't want her to get upset I can't pick her up and do all the normal things I do with her. Worried about jealousy!

Mine were 17 months apart. The way I bonded with my toddler was took a nap with her every day just me and her since I couldn’t hold her. Or she would sit on the couch with me. It was still tough and some jealousy but blocking out those times made me and her feel better. Eventually I world be putting my newborn down for a nap and she would fall asleep on both of us.

Jealously will be normal the first couple of weeks. My toddler tried to kick and hit my newborn the first week and now they’re the best of friends. I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old. They will become so close after a while. I had a c section and my husband had to go back to work as soon as I got home. Take it easy on your body don’t do anything too strenuous and just take it easy the first week It will be helpful if your toddler can sit on the bed with you for naps etc so you don’t have to lift into crib that’s what we did the first few days. It won’t be that bad.

It’s also helpful if you have meals planned out or set up a meal train where family and friends can set up meals for the first couple of weeks for the family while you adjust! That was a lifesaver for us

I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 month old. I had a csection. Ive spent the whole pregnancy talking about baby brother and reading books about becoming a sibling, and talking about how she can help me. The closer we got to the birth I spoke about how I would have a big boo boo and that I wouldn't be able to lift her and that daddy would have to do that until my boo boo healed.

I adapted things. She liked to turn the light off at bedtime but couldn't reach. Had her stand on a chair to reach it so I didn't lift her.

Had baby brother lie in bed with her for a few minutes to say goodnight.

Let her play doctor and "check" my boo boo. When asking is it better yet saying almost.

Never say no to anything with the baby. I guided her with gentle hands. Even if she is a little rough I know that I can correct her behaviour. If there is something I dont want her doing I give her two choices of something I know she really likes to do with him.

Let her hug, kiss, hold him as much as she wants even if it is every 5 secs.

Avatar

I let them lie on the playmat together and when she asks to help pick him up I say okay then help me and she helps me as I pick him up.

I also make sure if she asks me to do something specifically I put baby down and go do it if I'm just holding baby. If I'm feeding/changing/trying to get baby to stop crying/to sleep in explain what im doing and ask her to wait until im finish then I will do it with her.

I also tell baby that its toddlers turn now. I use the line: your turn is over baby, its now toddlers turn. I cant just be your mummy, I have to be toddlers mummy too or she would be sad, wouldn't you? And then I go on to have a conversation with my toddler about various things as I get her ready/play with her etc. And I do the same to her when its babies turn.

So far haven't had any jealousy. Don't know if it is down to the above or I'm just lucky that my toddler is just so good with her baby brother. 🥹

You will need to arrange for help from friends or family for even a week

My daughter was very aware that I had this done and was very careful with me she understood I couldn’t pick her up etc and we spent ages before letting daddy put her to bed (still in the cot) x

My toddler was 2.5 when I came home with her sibling after another section. I was home alone after day 5 with 2 kids.

My tips:

We brought baby home with a “present from baby” for her. “Look what he brought for you!”

I went and sat in the bed (we got home in the night) and told her to come cuddle me. Just me and her time and her dad was holding the baby first. She’d missed me (first time away from her) so she had a few moments first then dad gave her her brother.

I set up a nappy station next to the sofa and bed.

I explained mummy was a bit sore and she totally understood it. We still cuddled on the sofa and bed just lots of “be careful” but also not making her fearful. Mummy is fine, mummy isn’t poorly, no the baby didn’t do this. Just a little sore, baby.
