We and Our third-party partners may engage in marketing tactics, including what is known as “interest-based advertising.” As described above, We and Our partners may set a cookie on Your device and/or browser. Among other things, this technology allows Us and Our partners to provide You with interest-based or targeted advertising, that is, offers for products and services which may be of interest to You based on websites You’ve visited, Your visit to this Site, or other data or information which marketers may have about You.
Such tactics may include tracking Your use of a web service over time and across different websites, in what is known as “retargeting.” Retargeting means that after visiting the Site or other websites, marketers may deliver ads to You on this or other websites. Marketers may track Your Internet usage across websites and combine data from other sources to personally identify You.
For more information about interest-based advertising, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. To opt out of Your web browsing information being used in this manner, please visit http://optout.aboutads.info. This opt-out process is managed and governed by industry self-regulatory bodies such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://digitaladvertisingalliance.org/), not by Us. Note that in the opt-out process, You may opt-out of interest-based advertising on a company-by-company basis, or You may opt out of interest-based ads from all companies who have elected to participate in the program.
We do not participate directly in the program; however, Our third-party partners who may be showing You ads through Our interest-based marketing efforts, such as Google, Inc., do participate. And, although some companies may provide their own, direct opt-out mechanism, this Site does not currently offer that option.
If You do elect to take advantage of this opt-out, please note that it remembers Your preference by setting a cookie on Your device or browser. Therefore, if You change computers or browsers, or delete cookies, You will have to opt-out again for each of the companies You previously opted out of.
It is also important to note that opting-out of interest-based ads does not mean that You will no longer receive advertising, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties that do not participate in these programs. It will, however, exclude You from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.
