Your Privacy Choices

Managing Your Preferences. We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences and privacy choices, as described below:

  • Marketing Communications. We may send periodic promotional emails or other similar communications to you, in accordance with applicable law. You may opt-out of these communications by following the instructions provided to you in the communication.

Many of these choices are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services. In addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences to each browser and/or device used to access our Services.

  • Cookie Settings. To prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our Site or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set.

Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse the Site, but some features may not function.

  • Browser Signals. To the extent required by applicable law, if our Site detects that your browser is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as a “global privacy control” (or “GPC”) signal, we will apply that to opt that browser on your device out of targeting cookies on our Site. If you come to our Site from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to apply GPC for that browser and/or device as well.

  • Industry Ad Choice Programs. You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our Site and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you. If you are in the U.S., you can obtain more information and opt out of receiving targeted ads from participating third-party ad networks at aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance). Opting out of participating third party ad networks does not opt you out of being served advertising. You may continue to receive generic or "contextual" ads on our Site. You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or features or provide certain third-party connections or integrated services.

Where we have committed to maintaining and using personal information in a deidentified form, we agree not to reidentify deidentified data except as permitted by applicable law.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, Internet and network activity information, and commercial information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share personal information about individuals we know are under age sixteen (16).
