4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google and its third-party advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites across the Internet. These technologies allow ad networks to recognize your device, collect limited information about your browser, and deliver ads that may be more relevant to your interests.
You can manage your ad preferences and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how to opt out of third-party personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Your Online Choices page for visitors in the European Union. Even if you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see non-personalized advertisements on our site.
