Advertising Privacy Statement

We publish interest-based advertisements on the Site; that is, ads that are tailored to reflect your interests. Ezoic, Google, and our other advertising partners will track your behavior on our website and other websites across the Internet using cookies to help understand your interests.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.  Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user. Still, we store personal information about you that may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Using this Site, you consent to use such cookies and share data captured by such cookies with Ezoic, Google, and our other third-party partners. You can view, delete, or add interest categories associated with your browser by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com.

However, these opt-out mechanisms themselves use cookies, and if you clear the cookies from your browser, your opt-out will not be maintained.
