4. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

4.1 How Advertising Works

When you visit our Site, ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to:

• Recognize your browser or device across different websites.
• Build a profile of your interests based on pages you visit.
• Show you ads that are more relevant to you (personalized ads).
• Limit the number of times you see the same ad and measure ad effectiveness.

4.2 Your Choices & Opt-Out Options

You have the right to control how your data is used for advertising. Below are ways to opt out of personalized advertising:

• Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to manage or disable personalized ads from Google.
• AboutAds.info: The Digital Advertising Alliance provides a tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies: optout.aboutads.info.
• Network Advertising Initiative: Opt out of multiple ad networks at once: optout.networkadvertising.org.
• Your browser/device: Enable “Do Not Track” (DNT) or use privacy-focused browser extensions.

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads; you will still see generic (non-personalized) advertisements.
