Sponsored links, affiliate tracking & commissions

Our website may contain adverts, sponsored and affiliate links on some pages which are served through our advertising partners. We only use trusted advertising partners who each have high standards of user privacy and security. However we do not control the actual adverts displayed by our advertising partners.

Definitions:

• Ads are considered personalised when they are based on previously collected or historical data to determine or influence ad selection, including a user's previous search queries, activity, visits to sites or apps, demographic information (e.g. "sports enthusiasts"), or location. Specifically, this would include, for example: demographic targeting, interest category targeting, remarketing, targeting Customer Match lists, and targeting audience lists uploaded in Display & Video 360 or Campaign Manager.
• Ads are considered non-personalised when they are not based on a user’s past behavior. They are targeted using contextual information, including coarse (such as city-level) geo-targeting based on current location, and content on the current site or app or current query terms. Google disallows all personalized targeting, including demographic targeting and user list targeting. Learn more about personalised and non-personalised ads
• Personally-identifiable information (PII) includes, but isn't limited to, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and credit card numbers.

In the EEA, our partners will only show visitors to BhajanLyrics.com personalised ads if user consent if provided. Even so, PII is not captured as per the requirements for third-party ad serving. If user consent is not provided, non-personalised ads are served instead. Although these ads don’t use cookies for ads personalisation, they do use cookies to allow for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and to combat fraud and abuse.
