Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies vary in how long they last. “Session cookies” terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device until a set expiration date. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our Sites.

Our Sites offer a Cookie preference center that allows you to exercise your choices. Please click on the link at the bottom of the Site you are viewing to update your cookie preferences. Cookies may also generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. If you typically use more than one browser, you will need to disable or delete Cookies separately on each browser you use. Please review your browser’s Help menu for instructions, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information. Please note that if you disable all cookies, some features of our Sites may not function properly and disabling Cookies may invalidate your other opt-outs that rely on Cookies to function. Please be aware that disabling Cookies or limiting targeted advertising will not stop you from seeing advertisements online or in apps. The advertisements you see will, however, likely be less relevant to you.

Do Not Track Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, that there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. We do, however, respond to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal for California residents wishing to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their Personal Information. For more information, please see our California Consumer Privacy Notice.

To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain interest-based advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks).

In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services who are also identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched List Ads”). This is done by using tracking technologies or by matching common factors between our databases and the databases of other online services such as Facebook/Meta or Twitter. We are not responsible for these third-party services, including without limitation the security of the data they hold about you. If we use Facebook to serve Matched List Ads on Facebook services, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such a Facebook ad, or go to your account settings, to find out what options Facebook offers you to control such ads. If we use Twitter Matched List Ads, you should be able to review your ad options in your account settings on Twitter.
