TARGETED ADVERTISING
We may use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Services or on third-party services (e.g., social networking platforms) that enable us and third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.
Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”)
Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by
DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”)
Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by
NAI members.
Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA
Consumer Choice Page or the NAI
Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Services or on other websites or applications. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at
www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at
www.networkadvertising.org.

We are not responsible for the information practices of such third parties.

However, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.
