V. Online Privacy Choices

A. Online Advertising.

We support the self-regulatory principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). We work with advertisers, advertising networks, advertising servers, and analytics companies (“Ad Partners”) that use data collection technologies to understand how our Services are being used and to analyze your browsing history in order to deliver advertising relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related insights.  These advertisements may appear on other websites or services, including through social media networks.  These Ad Partners may be able to associate devices across third party websites or services over time and link various devices used by the same individual.

For more information about how Ad Partners use the information collected by these technologies and your options for restricting cookies placed by some of these Ad Partners, please visit the DAA’s opt-out page.  The DAA’s opt-outs are device- and browser-specific and may not work on all devices.  If you choose to opt-out through the DAA’s tools it does not mean you will cease to see advertising.

  • Modifying Your Device Settings. You can restrict our websites and apps from accessing certain device information, such as precise geolocation, by changing your permissions in your mobile device’s settings menu.  Please note that the withdrawal of permission to access some device information may result in an inability to take full advantage of our Services.
