Cookies play a crucial role in our services, allowing us to deliver content or advertisements to extract insights about our website. We share information with partners based on consent and legitimate interest.

To enhance user experience, we use limited data to select advertising that matches your interests. Profiles are created using combinations of data from different sources, which help us personalize content.

Our cookies can be categorized into three types:

1. Essential Cookies: These cannot be switched off, but some parts of the service will not work.
2. Performance Cookies: Collect information about how visitors use our properties to measure and improve performance.
3. Personalization Cookies: Enable services to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.

Our advertising cookies allow us to build profiles of your interests and show you relevant ads on this and other properties.

Social media cookies enable sharing tools, but may track your browser across sites to build a profile of your interests.

We use data to recognize devices, store or read information on your device, and personalize advertising based on limited data such as website usage, location, or device type.

This data helps us measure advertising performance, understand audiences through statistics, develop services, and improve content. It also helps identify unusual activity and ensure systems work properly.

You can exercise your right to consent or object to legitimate interest by signaling to our vendors participating in the Transparency and Consent Framework.
