  • Targeting, marketing, or “behavioral advertising” cookies

These cookies, which may be placed on your device by us or by our trusted service providers, remember that you have visited a website and use this information to provide you with content or advertising tailored to your interests. This type of processing is also known as online behavioral advertising (OBA) and is carried out by grouping common interests based on your web browsing history. Your web browsing history can be used to infer things about you (e.g., age, gender, etc.), and this information can also be used to make advertising on websites more relevant to you. Without these cookies, the content and ads you encounter may be less relevant to you and your interests. If you want more information about OBA, including how to opt out of these cookies, visit:
http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ or visit: https://www.trustarc.com/consumer-privacy/about-oba/ , or scroll down to: How can users manage or opt out of cookies.

  • Targeting and behavior marketing and advertising cookies

We use these cookies for:

  • managing online advertising and revenue-sharing methods. Our authorized advertising partners, especially Google (Double click, Analytics, AdWords), use cookies along with web beacons to provide you with advertising and to allow us to manage our relationship with those advertisers, for example by managing the number of users who have seen a particular advertisement or followed a link in an advertisement;
  • managing e-commerce activities through affiliate links and arrangements associated with related revenues;
  • evaluating the general behavior of users on our site and third-party sites to build a profile based on users’ browsing patterns, so that we and third parties can direct advertising to users that is more relevant to their interests. This means that, for example, if users visit a page with a review of a certain product or service, the cookie module will collect this information and we can include ads for that product or service to those users, and if users visit third-party sites that are part of the same network, those third parties can include ads for that product or service to those users;
  • Creating profiles to better target user behavior and sending ads with more relevant content or to analyze behavior for marketing purposes; and
  • Monitoring the number of users who have seen a particular ad or visited a specific page on one of our sites, to analyze the effectiveness of our ads and provide audit, research, and reporting for advertisers.

Trusted partners we work with regarding behavioral advertising or marketing purposes include third-party ad servers, advertising agencies, technology providers, advertising material providers, research firms, and other companies that help us deliver more efficient advertising/marketing and provide you with more personalized experience. As your browser, application, or device communicates with third-party servers, these companies may collect information, including your IP address, page header information, browser or device information, as if you had requested the webpage or used their applications directly. We cannot control or access the cookies placed on your computer by advertising agents and sponsors of third parties.
