Digital Advertising and Analytics
We may work with ad networks and other providers to serve ads on our behalf on non-affiliated platforms. These ads may be personalized based on information collected about your online activities over time. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through tools like the DAA Webchoices tool, but note that opting out will not stop all advertising, only personalized ads.

Do Not Track Disclosures
Third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Service. However, the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals due to the lack of a standardized approach for handling them.
