Behavioral Targeting
 

How Does it Work?

To qualify a user as an in-market shopper in any of Bankrate's segments (using mortgage example):

A cookie is placed in the Bankrate user's browser, which will then track the pages visited by that user.

A Bankrate consumer who visits a mortgage story, rate table, or calculator within the last 120 days will be tagged and placed in the Mortgage Behavioral Targeting Bucket/Segment.

When that consumer visits one of the sites within the Behavioral Targeting Network they will receive a mortgage advertisement.
