2. Your Privacy Choices

If you wish to modify, verify, correct, delete, or update any of your personal information collected through the Sites, you may edit your profile preferences or fill out our Privacy Rights Request Form. In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain personal information you have submitted through the Sites.

In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups, legal obligations, and other reasons.

How to Exercise Choice for Interest-Based Advertising
Advertising Industry Opt-Outs
To exercise choice with respect to interest-based advertising, you can use the opt-out mechanism provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN (for browsers) or https://youradchoices.com/appchoices (for apps).
You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative’s tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain interest-based advertising delivered by NAI members’ ad networks: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
To opt-out of Unified ID 2.0 globally visit: https://www.transparentadvertising.com/.
Even if you opt-out of certain kinds of interest-based ads, you may continue to receive other ads. And opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer under the DAA / NAI rules deliver certain targeted ads to you. This will affect services provided by the applicable DAA / NAI members but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads from non-participating parties. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different Device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access, your DAA / NAI browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Mobile device opt-outs will not affect browser-based Interest-based ads even on the same device, and you must opt-out separately for each device. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third party opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
You can also prevent or reduce getting interest-based ads on websites by declining cookies in your browser(s), or on mobile devices by declining the “access to data” requests that apps usually present when you install them or by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device.
You will still see “contextual” ads even if you opt out of interest-based ads. Even if we stop sending you interest-based ads, you will still get ads from our brands on your computer or mobile devices. These ads, however, are based on the context of the sites you visit and are called contextual ads. Unlike interest-based ads which are based on pages you visit on your mobile phone or computer viewing activities over time and across unrelated services, contextual ads are ads shown to you based on the context of the specific site you are visiting. You should also know that we may still collect information from your computer or devices and use it for other purposes like evaluating how our websites work, for consumer research, or detecting fraud, pursuant to applicable laws.
How You Can Control Cookies
Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking technologies, or to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can visit macromedia.com. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.
If you block cookies, certain features on our Platform may not work. Depending on your mobile device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies and you may not be able to block non-cookie technologies (such as flash cookies) and these browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques. In addition, options you select relating to cookies and other tracking technologies are browser and device specific. You must exercise these choices on each browser and device you use.
When you opt out of interest-based advertising, an opt-out cookie is sent to your browser that indicates you no longer want to receive interest-based ads. Your opt-out cookie will be deleted if you decide to delete all cookies on your browser. You will need to opt out again on each browser when you clear or delete cookies if you do not want to receive interest-based advertising.

We generally do this in ways that will not directly personally identify you (they are “masked” by a number identifier instead of associated with information like your name), but if we personally identify you we will do so in accordance with applicable laws.
We may know you across your devices, such as computers, phones, tablets because we associate cookie and device IDs. We assume that the same person owns certain devices based on certain activities, such as connecting the devices to the same WiFi network.
We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices or serve you ads on social media sites you may use. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.
Google Analytics and Advertising:
We use Google Analytics to better understand how our users interact with our Platform. Our ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/) and the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). To understand how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may opt out of Google Analytics at any time by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the Doubleclick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Service. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences or by visiting NAI’s online resources at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
Pixels: Pixels are small objects embedded into a web page but are not visible. They are also known as “tags,” “web bugs,” or "pixel gifs." We use pixels to deliver cookies to your computer, monitor our website activity, make logging into our sites easier, and for online marketing activities including personalized advertising on social media sites. We also include pixels in our email messages or newsletters to determine whether you open them and click on their links. This helps us understand whether you are an active user. It also helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, and derive insights and analysis, that we will use to personalize the content of our communication and to guide our marketing decisions and strategy.
Do-Not-Track Policy: Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. Where available, you may choose to enable an online tool that automatically communicates your universal opt-out preferences, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). You may need to use a specific browser or an extension that supports these tools and universal signals. When detected, we will process such a signal as a request to opt out of tracking PI and as a request to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of your data as explained in the “Your Privacy Choices” section below. You can also opt-out of such tracking directly on our Platform by following the steps noted in the Interest-Based Advertising section above. If you have questions, please contact us via one of the methods listed in the “How to Contact Us” section at the end of this Privacy Policy.
