8. Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, pixels (such as the Meta Pixel), tags (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads), and server-side tracking to understand how visitors use our Website, measure our ads, and show you relevant ads on other websites and apps (retargeting).
You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit some features of the Website. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising:
- Meta: your Facebook or Instagram Ad Preferences
- Google: adssettings.google.com
- Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
- Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info
Because there is no common standard for “Do Not Track” browser signals, our Website does not currently respond to them.
