Cookies and Similar Technology
We and our partners use various tools to collect data when you visit our sites and apps, including
cookies, pixels, local Storage, and other similar technologies. Some of these technologies store data in
the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to
recognize your device (e.g., IP address). Our Services use these technologies, for example, when you
first request a web page and data is then stored on your computer or other device so the website or
mobile application can access personal information when you make subsequent requests for pages from
that Service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of
the Services, such as pages you have visited, other content you viewed, and search history.
We and our partners may use also use these technologies to gather personal information about how you
view and use our Services and content, and to connect your activity with other data we store about you.
We and our partners may collect your personally identifiable information about your online activities
over time and across different websites when you use the Services. The use of these technologies helps
us serve you better by understanding what you’re interested in, tracking trends, measuring the
effectiveness of ads, saving your preferences, and storing information you may want to retrieve on a
regular basis. We also allow specific, approved partners to collect data from your browser or device for
advertising and measurement purposes using their own similar tools.
Your web browser can be set to allow you to control these technologies, such as whether you will accept
cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your browser. If your browser is set
to reject cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the
website, and some website functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser may tell you how
to prevent your browser from accepting these technologies such as cookies. To find out more about
cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org. Also, certain versions of the Android operating system allow you
to “Opt-out of Ads Personalization” in the system settings. Options you select are browser and device
specific.
Some browsers permit the user to send a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) preference to websites that the user
visits indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked over time and across websites. Because there
is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT or a common definition of “tracking,” we do
not currently respond to the DNT signal on our websites. We do, however, respond to global privacy
preferences when required by law.
