You have the option to learn more about interest-based advertisements or to opt out from having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance. To exercise this option, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising, Sharing, and Sales
We process personal information to understand and improve your experience with our Services and to serve you targeted advertisements. Under certain privacy laws, some of these activities may be categorized as "sales" or "sharing" of your personal information, or as "targeted advertising." If you wish to opt out of preference-based advertising, we encourage you to adjust your advertising preferences through the settings available within our Services or your device. Please be aware that opting out in this manner will not stop you from seeing sponsorships or advertisements in our newsletters. However, the ads you see will be selected randomly and not based on your known preferences.
Social Sharing Features
The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our Services with other media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

This information may be used by Company and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites and better understand your online activity.
