Perform Media Opt Out Guide: Browser and Mobile Steps

A Perform Media opt out for browser advertising uses the button on the company's official Perform Media Opt-Out page. That choice stores an opt-out cookie in the current browser. If you clear cookies, switch browsers, or use another device, repeat the step there. Mobile choices use the device's advertising-personalization settings. Access, deletion, and other privacy rights use a separate request route and may require identity confirmation. The advertising choice stops interest-based use by Perform Media for the covered browser, but it does not remove every advertisement.

Perform Media Opt Out Guide quick facts

Last checked August 28, 2026. Provider policies, forms, device menus, and legal-right availability can change. Start from the current official page rather than an old third-party form.

How to complete the perform media opt out

1. Open Perform Media's official Opt-Out page in the browser you want to cover.
2. Select the browser opt-out button and wait for the page to report that the choice was stored.
3. Keep the opt-out cookie. Repeat the process in every other browser profile and device you use.
4. For mobile applications, open the operating system's advertising or ad-personalization settings and apply the current platform choice.
5. Enable Global Privacy Control if supported. Perform Media says it recognizes the signal where applicable.
6. For access or deletion, use the privacy-policy request route or privacy@performmedia.com, complete verification, and save the response.

Choose the right route before submitting

Browser cookie choice

Perform Media's page explains that the browser choice stores an opt-out cookie. The company says it will no longer collect activity from client websites for interest-based advertising after the choice. The browser can still receive advertising that is contextual or unrelated to personalization.

Mobile advertising settings

For mobile applications, the provider directs users to platform advertising settings such as Apple's or Android's current controls. Device menus change over time, so start in the operating system settings instead of following an old sequence of screenshots.

Privacy-rights request

Use the privacy-policy route for access, correction, deletion, sale or sharing choices, and appeals that apply to your situation. Perform Media may need to confirm identity. If a deletion request cannot be verified, the policy says it may treat the request as an opt out of sale or sharing instead.

Verification and expected processing

The browser response should be immediate enough to confirm that the preference cookie exists. Save a screenshot of the success state or note the date. Then close and reopen the page in the same browser to ensure the status is still recognized.

Rights-request timing and available choices depend on applicable law and the information the company can match. Answer a verification request through the original official channel. If the provider cannot locate a record, ask what identifier is needed before sharing more information.

Perform Media's browser service says it does not collect mobile advertising identifiers in that browser context. Keep that distinction in your notes: the browser cookie route and the mobile-device settings route address different technical identifiers.

What the request changes and what it does not

Opting out means Perform Media should stop using covered activity for personalized or interest-based advertising. It does not mean the browser will receive no ads. Contextual, operational, or advertisements selected without the opted-out profile can still appear.

The request does not remove cookies or data held by unrelated publishers, ad networks, analytics tools, or mobile applications. Each independent provider needs its own control. A platform-level choice can help, but it is still worth checking important providers directly.

A deletion response can be narrower than a browser opt out because the company may need to retain security, compliance, or suppression data. Read the response for the covered identifier and any stated exception rather than inferring a universal deletion.

Why the data or advertising choice can return

A privacy choice follows the identifier and scope described by the provider. Browser cookies can disappear, mobile advertising IDs can reset, and new devices can create new identifiers. Partners can also send later data. A successful request should therefore be treated as a dated result, not a permanent state.

Recheck the same browser or device after the provider's stated processing window, then again after one month. Repeat the check after clearing cookies, resetting a device, changing phones, or restoring application permissions. If the same identifier returns, use the saved confirmation in a focused follow-up.

Do not send repeated requests every day. That can create duplicate cases without clarifying scope. Confirm the original request, the covered identifier, and the current status first. Escalate through the policy's appeal or privacy contact only when the documented result does not match the stated choice.

Build the request into a broader privacy plan

Treat the provider choice as one layer of a wider exposure cleanup. Advertising and analytics companies can receive identifiers from many partners, while people-search sites publish a different type of profile. A request to one company does not notify independent recipients or erase their source records. Start with the data broker opt-out list and the manual data-broker removal guide to separate advertising controls from public-profile removals.

Keep a simple removal log with the provider, route, request type, browser or device covered, submission date, confirmation number, and next review date. That record prevents duplicate submissions and makes a later appeal or follow-up much easier. Use the opt-out guide hub to find the correct workflow for each provider.

Use only the information the official workflow requires. Confirm the domain before sharing an advertising identifier or identity details, and avoid sending identity documents through an unverified email address. A privacy request can require matching data, but that does not mean every field is necessary.

If you want a wider inventory before choosing manual targets, start a CrabClear privacy scan. A scan can help prioritize exposure, but every provider still controls its own verification, exceptions, and timing.

Related workflows include the Media.net opt-out guide, the LoopMe opt-out guide, and the Kargo opt-out guide. Use them only when those services or identifiers appear in your own exposure.

Perform Media Opt Out Guide FAQ

Does this request stop every advertisement?

No. The provider-specific choice limits the selected personalized-advertising or data use. Contextual ads, operational messages, and ads selected by unrelated companies can continue.

Do I need to repeat the choice on another browser or device?

Usually yes when the workflow is browser, cookie, advertising-ID, or device based. Repeat it for each relevant environment and after a reset that creates a new identifier.

Can the provider ask me to verify my identity?

Yes for access, correction, deletion, or other rights that could reveal or change personal information. Use the official route and provide only the matching details it requests.

Can the data or choice reappear later?

Yes. A new identifier, cleared cookie, restored permission, later partner data, or an independent source can create a new record. Save the confirmation and schedule a measured recheck.
