3. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

3.1 How Ads Use Cookies and Device Identifiers

• Ad networks (e.g., Google, its partners) place cookies on your browser or use device identifiers to build a profile of your interests.
• Based on this profile, you may see ads for products or services that are more relevant to you.
• These cookies collect information such as the pages you visit, the time of your visit, and your IP address.

3.2 Your Choices & Opt-Out Options

• Google Ads Settings: You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting adssettings.google.com.
• AboutAds.info / YourAdChoices: For a general opt-out from participating third-party ad networks, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info.
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): You may also opt out via optout.networkadvertising.org.
• Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads — it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

3.3 Third-Party Vendors

We use Google AdSense as one of our advertising partners. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings as linked above. For more information on how Google uses data, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
