4) Advertising & Cross-Context (Optional)

Legal basis: consent.
Duration: 1–13 months.

Do Not Sell/Share: Turning this category Off (and/or using our Do Not Sell/Share My Info link) opts you out of cross-context advertising. We will still use essential cookies.

Managing cookies beyond this page

You can also control cookies in your browser settings (blocking, deleting). If you block essential cookies, some features like login or checkout may stop working.

We do not knowingly use sensitive personal information for targeted ads or to infer characteristics. We don’t sell your information for money. If we “share” for advertising, it happens only when you enable the Advertising & Cross-Context category or consent on the banner.

State privacy rights (US)

If your state offers privacy rights (e.g., California), you can request access, deletion, correction, and opt out of selling/sharing using this page.

Changes

We update this page when services or laws change. Check the Effective date on our Privacy Policy for the latest version. Preferences you set here take effect immediately on this browser.
