Ad providers can tell it is you when you view or click an ad, and can match their data to LinkedIn's hashed IDs
If you view or click an ad on or off LinkedIn, the ad provider gets a signal that someone visited the page showing the ad and may, using mechanisms such as cookies, determine that it was you. Advertising partners can link personal data the advertiser collected directly from you with hashed IDs or device identifiers received from LinkedIn. LinkedIn says it seeks to contractually require those partners to get your explicit opt-in consent first where legally required, and in those cases takes steps to ensure consent was given before processing data from them.

However, if you view or click on an ad on or off our Services, the ad provider will get a signal that someone visited the page that displayed the ad, and they may, through the use of mechanisms such as cookies, determine it is you. Advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with hashed IDs or device identifiers received from us.
We seek to contractually require such advertising partners to obtain your explicit, opt-in consent before doing so where legally required, and in such instances, we take steps to ensure that consent has been provided before processing data from them.
Qualifications & exceptions
The consent requirement applies only where legally required, and LinkedIn describes it as something it seeks to require by contract, not a guarantee.
