The policy says third-party providers' and advertisers' own use and collection is not covered by it
After describing ad cookies and beacons, the section states that the use and collection of your information by third-party service providers and by third-party advertisers and their advertising servers is not covered by this Privacy Policy. This sits beside earlier text saying Bloomberg and the parties it works with, including advertisers and ad technology providers, may place and use cookies on the Site, and a disclosure section saying Bloomberg may disclose usage information to advertising networks, data analytics providers and social networks. The policy therefore describes these partners' involvement on the Site while saying their own use and collection is outside its coverage.
