We recognize privacy is important to our users.

To do so, we collect information about the type of browser, referrer and operating system of Web site visitors, as well as the domain name, day and time of visit, and page(s) visited. We do so across multiple Web domains owned or operated by different entities (each, a “Site”).

Interest-based (behavioral) advertising gives advertisers the chance to show ads that are relevant to you based on your online web browsing behavior. With interest-based advertising, you receive ads and offers that are more likely to be useful to you. Advertisers may also use other information they have or acquire about users’ interests. Users have choices with respect to this type of advertising, as discussed below. You can opt-out of interest-based advertising. If you choose to opt-out you will still see ads, but it is more likely those ads won’t be relevant to you. Interest-based advertising does not depend on information that is personally identifiable to you, such as your name, address, phone number, etc.
