Non-Cookie Technologies Opt-Out

Our third-party advertising partners may use non-cookie technologies that could be unaffected by browser settings designed to block cookies. It’s possible that your browser may not enable you to block such technologies. Consequently, if you wish to decline the collection and use of information for the purpose of serving you interest-based advertising by these technologies, you may utilize the following third-party tools:

  • NAI’s opt-out platform: You can use the NAI opt-out tool, which allows you to decline the collection and use of information about your online activities for interest-based advertising. Visit NAI’s opt-out page for more information.
  • EDAA’s opt-out platform: The EDAA provides a tool for opting out of the collection of data by member companies for targeted advertising. More details can be found on EDAA’s opt-out page.
  • DAA’s opt-out platform: The DAA opt-out platform is another tool available for denying advertisers the ability to use your browsing history to show interest based ads. To opt-out, please visit DAA’s opt-out page.

These tools help manage the collection and use of certain information by these ad networks. Please be aware that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertising online, but it will prevent targeted ads from being delivered to you by the third parties participating in these programs.

By providing these options, we strive to adhere to best practices regarding online privacy and user autonomy, ensuring our site visitors can make informed decisions regarding their online privacy.
