The Perception of Targeted Advertising by Young Users of Social Networks

Ciljno oglaševanje je vrsta oglaševanja, ki omogoča boljše doseganje ciljne skupine, saj prikazani oglasi temeljijo na podatkih o uporabnikovih interesih in značilnostih. Tej vrsti oglaševanja je dandanes izpostavljen praktično vsak uporabnik svetovnega spleta, z množično uporabo družbenih omrežij pa so ciljnemu oglaševanju najbolj izpostavljeni mladi. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljeni ciljno oglaševanje na spletu, zbiranje podatkov in problematika zasebnosti v povezavi z zbiranjem podatkov. V empiričnem delu je bila s kvantitativno metodo izvedena raziskava mladih uporabnikov družbenih omrežij. Tako je bil pridobljen vpogled v dojemanje in mišljenje mladih o ciljnem oglaševanju, kar je bil tudi glavni namen diplomskega dela.Targeted advertising is a type of advertising that allows a better reach of the target audience, as the displayed advertisements are based on information about user\u27s interests and characteristics.
