Show HN: ContextCue – Create and host private, ethical ads

EDIT: The website says these ads are not individually targeted. Hooray!!

I'm leaving the rest of this comment for context.

...

Wait, these are still individually targeted?

In that case, I need to learn a lot more about them before I can be OK with them -- specifically, how it's possible to individually target ads without collecting data about users.

> that provided a identifying token

If that's what it's doing, then I'm out.

Nope, we don't do any individual targeting. We base the ads on the website that that the ads are on. We believe that targeting based on the website will still provide relevant ads because the user is already interested in the content of the website. In fact, we don't store any cookies on the user's device.
