Tracking Technologies, Advertising and Analytics
We (and other parties on our behalf) may utilize “cookie” technology, pixel technology, and other tracking technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) on or in connection with the Service. Most Web browsers accept cookies by default, but you may be able to adjust your settings to refuse and remove cookies. If you refuse or reject cookies, certain features and functionality may not work on the Service. Additionally, refusing or rejecting cookies may invalidate opt outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. We do not alter our practices when the Properties receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
We may also use external parties to serve ads on the Service through the use of Tracking Technologies. Information collected may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of the Service and the other sites and services tracked by these external parties (“Interest-based Advertising”). Interest-based Advertising (also known as online behavioral advertising) occurs when advertisements are displayed to you based on information collected from your online interactions over time and across multiple websites that you visit, or across multiple devices or online services that you may use. Companies that engage in Interest-based Advertising use this information to predict your preferences and show you ads that are most likely to be of interest to you.
When you use our online Service, we may disclose information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers, including LiveRamp Inc. LiveRamp returns an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online and cross-channel advertising and it may be disclosed with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt-out of this use, please click here (https://optout.liveramp.com/opt_out).
Some of the content, applications, and tracking technologies on our websites and mobile applications are controlled by external parties. We may use certain external-party technology vendors (such as Meta and Google) in connection with your activity with the Service, including for advertising purposes and to understand details about your use of the Service.
You may be able to opt out of some Interest-based Advertising by adjusting the settings on your browser. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, visit https://optout.aboutads.info/, https://youradchoices.com/appchoices, and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. For example, you may still see “contextual” ads even if you opt out of Interest-based Advertising. These ads, however, are based on the context of what you are looking at on the websites and pages you visit. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browsers or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.
We support the DAA Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. We are not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any external parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
We may also use Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics or other vendors for analytics services.
