4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the Site.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense and Third-Party Vendors)

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. The primary advertising provider is Google, through Google AdSense.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites on the internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies (including the Google advertising cookie, historically referred to as the "DART cookie") enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
  • Alternatively, you may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (Digital Advertising Alliance) or https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ (Network Advertising Initiative).
  • For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Third-party ad networks may have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookies and data. We do not control these third-party technologies, and their use is governed by their own privacy policies.
