Like many content publishers, we provide online advertising services that use
cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your device and
online activity on our sites, apps and other online services. These services use
this information to try to tailor the ads you see online to your interests.
These are called interest-based ads. For more information about our collection,
use and disclosure of your personal information when you visit our sites and
apps, see our Privacy Policy.

Under certain state laws, including, but not limited to, the California Consumer
Privacy Act, California Privacy Rights Act, and the Virginia Consumer Data
Protection Act (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”), this collection and use of
our users’ information for interest-based advertising purposes may constitute a
“sale” of personal information to other parties. Certain State Privacy Laws
require that we give you the ability to opt out of the sale or sharing of your
personal information or data in connection with these targeting advertising
activities. Although State Privacy Laws only extend their protections to
residents of their particular states, we respect consumer choice when it comes
to privacy rights. Accordingly, we offer all of our users – regardless of
whether you are a resident of a state that has adopted a State Privacy Law – the
right to opt out of this type of sale or sharing of your personal information.
You can exercise this opt-out right by using the toggle switch below.

Opting out will not disable cookies or other technologies that facilitate the
proper functioning of our website or collect data for purposes that do not
involve targeted advertising. Opting out will not mean that you will stop seeing
interest-based ads or other ads online. Specifically, opting out will not
prevent you from seeing interest-based ads based on information that, for
purposes of State Privacy Laws, was not sold or shared by us, was sold before
you opted out, or was sold by third parties outside of our control. You can
learn more about interest-based ads and additional opt-out choices here.

In addition, if you are a California resident and have enabled the Global
Privacy Control (GPC) signal on a supported web browser, we will treat this as a
request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for
targeted advertising purposes. For more information about what the GPC is and
