Your Ad Playlist refers to ad preferences for these slots and elsewhere on your screen in priority to ads that could otherwise be served.

Data from linked member devices is de-identified, anonymised, securely encrypted and stored in Sydney, Australia to make Ad Playlist recommendations for members with similar interests. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.

ADFREEWAY emotos are opinion voting icon pairs ( or ) providing a simple graphic measure of audience emot[i]o[nal] bias with respect to costitial media (eg in-image, in-video or adjacent content).

Once you’ve registered as an ADFREEWAY member on an affiliated free WiFi network, App or website, you can Vote, Earn and Redeem to start personalising the Ad Playlist for your linked devices. Your Ad Playlist will be automatically updated to include ads that best match your preferences and those of members with similar interests. Successful ad curation improves ad relevance (campaign performance) without increasing the number of ads you receive.

On your behalf and to protect your privacy, we may also restrict some or all of the background network sharing of your personal, cookie and other private data including communication with third-party data providers, programmatic ad networks, real-time bidding exchanges and/or other companies attempting to identify you to deliver targeted online advertising.

Not necessarily, the answer depends on how and where you connect to the Internet. Once you’ve registered as an ADFREEWAY member, you may be able to enjoy consistent curation of your Ad Playlist across all devices linked to your account regardless of your Internet connection method. You may also be able to Vote, Earn and Redeem on other free/paid/private WiFi, mobile, broadband and other Internet connections. Please contact us for more information.

Ad blocking works in various ways to prevent some or all advertisements from being delivered to your screen and, in certain cases, replaces a blacklist of undesirable ads with a whitelist of approved ads. Ad blocking may prevent publishers of your favourite web content and Apps from receiving advertising revenue.

On your behalf, the ADFREEWAY Ad Playlist curation service maintains a real-time private encrypted record of your personal ad preferences to improve the quality and relevance of the ads delivered to your device (without increasing the number of ads you would otherwise receive). Rather than maintaining a blacklist and whitelist, ADFREEWAY remembers your votes and preferences to suggest your best Ad Playlist. If uncertain whether you’d like a particular ad, we may ask you to vote on it or make a suggestion based on the votes of other members who seem to like the same things as you. Unlike most ad blockers, ADFREEWAY ensures that your favourite website and App publishers are paid for the advertising curated on your behalf. Unlike most ad blockers, ADFREEWAY also ensures that you receive instant rewards voting on ads to better curate your Ad Playlist!

Yes, in the same way that you authorise email Apps to curate email messages (by automatically moving them to SPAM, news, urgent or other folders) based on preferences and settings, you are entitled to authorise ADFREEWAY to curate your Ad Playlist by sourcing (or substituting undesirable ads with) better ads based on preferences and settings.
