5.5. Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising Choices.

You can learn about your options to opt out of mobile app tracking by certain advertising networks through your device settings and by resetting the advertiser ID on your Apple or Android device.

It will, however, exclude you from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.
