BBC Offers Lightweight Pages and Consent Settings for Data Collection: What You Need to Know

The BBC website offers lightweight mobile pages that are created using Google AMP technology. These pages have specific consent settings that allow users to manage their preferences for data collection. However, these settings are only applicable to AMP pages and may need to be set again when visiting non-AMP pages on the BBC site.

When it comes to functionality, the BBC may store some essential information on a user’s device without requiring their consent. This data collection is necessary for the web pages to work properly. Users can learn more about the essential data stored on their device by clicking here.

If you agree to data collection on AMP pages, you are giving permission for personalized ads tailored to your interests to be shown outside of the UK when you are not in the UK. To understand more about how personalization works at the BBC and with advertising partners, read further information.

If you do not want personalized ads, you have the option to click “Reject data collection and continue.” Please note that you will still see advertisements, but they will not be personalized. You can adjust these settings by clicking on “Ad Choices / Do not sell my info” in the website footer whenever you wish.

To manage consent settings for AMP pages, users can accept or reject data collection based on their preferences. These settings allow them to control how their data is used for personalized advertising outside of the UK. If a user chooses to reject data collection, they will continue to see non-personalized ads on our web pages. Remember that users can modify these settings at any time by accessing the designated option in the website footer.
