In some cases, we may share with advertisers the information we have collected on their sites or ads,or certain aggregated information, such as the number of users that we have assigned to general interest categories or segments.We may also share non-personally identifiable information (such as cookie identifiers) directly with service providers in order to permit them to provide services on our behalf or to partner with us in selecting and serving ads for our advertising partners.

Your Choices
You can provide input into the kinds of ads you see or opt-out of personalized Advertising from Microsoft Advertising in the following ways:
You can choose to influence the ads you see by selecting your interests at the Personal Data Dashboard. This requires you to sign in using your Microsoft account.
You can opt-out of receiving personalized ads from Microsoft Advertising by visiting Your privacy and Microsoft personalized ads. You can choose to either opt-out on your specific browser, or wherever you use your Microsoft account.
If you choose to opt-out of behaviorally targeted advertising, it does not mean that you will stop getting ads or see fewer ads; however, if you do opt out, the ads that you receive will no longer be behaviorally targeted and may be less relevant to your interests. In addition, opting out does not stop information from going to our servers, but it does stop our creation or updating of profiles that might be used for behavioral advertising. If you opt back in to behaviorally targeted advertising, the ads you initially see may not be as relevant as they were before you turned it off because we may have removed older information from your profile.
