Abstract
An online system provides content items for presentation to users with a mechanism that allows users to opt-in to receive additional content associated with a content item at a later time. Users can opt-in to receive the additional content by selecting a button or icon presented with the content item to select criteria for receiving the additional content in the future. The criteria can be temporal or the criteria can be based on a location. Accordingly, the additional content is presented to the user when at least a threshold portion of the criteria is met.
