How We Use Cookies and Data for Personalized Advertising

Cookies are essential for our services to function properly. There are four types of cookies:

1. Essential Cookies: These cannot be switched off in our systems. They help us track visits, traffic sources, and monitor performance.
2. Performance Cookies: These allow us to collect information about how visitors use our properties. This data helps us measure and improve the performance of our services.
3. Personalization Cookies: These enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or third-party providers.
4. Advertising Cookies: These are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising.

We collect information about your activity on our service, including forms submitted, content viewed, and device type. This data is used to create profiles that help us present personalized advertising.

Our goal is to understand how well an ad has worked for you or other users. We use reports based on combined data sets to identify common characteristics among users. This information helps us improve products and services.

However, we do not collect user profile and identifier data for the purpose of developing or improving them.

Cookies are also used to monitor for unusual activity, ensure systems work properly, and facilitate content delivery.

You can set your device to block or alert you about essential cookies, while still using our services. If you opt out of performance, personalization, or advertising cookies, you may see less relevant advertising.

By understanding how we use data and cookies, you can make informed choices about the information we collect and share with our partners.
