Digital Advertising & Analytics

We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms.  Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Sites and other websites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices.  This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

You may visit the DAA Webchoices tool at www.aboutads.info/choices to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on this browser by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program.  You can also exercise choices regarding interest-based advertising on your mobile device by downloading the appropriate version of the DAA’s AppChoices tool at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices. In Canada, you can visit the DAAC opt-out tools available at https://youradchoices.ca/en/tools

If you delete your cookies, use a different browser or mobile device, or reset your identifiers, you may need to renew your opt-out choices.  Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications.  It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.

We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Sites and other websites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.  SSP uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes.  For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use our Site, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This service may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and your interaction with the reCAPTCHA widget. The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using our site, you acknowledge and accept the use of reCAPTCHA and the processing of your data by Google as outlined in their policies.
