Your Choices
You can control the data collected through Cookies in a number of ways:
- Browser settings. You can set your browser not to accept cookies, though this may limit your ability to use our Services. Many browser extensions also provide features that create transparency and choice around Cookies on the web. Please note that, due to a lack of an agreed upon standard for interpreting Do Not Track (DNT) signals, our Services do not currently respond to DNT signals from browsers.
- Mobile Identifiers. Most mobile device operating systems allow you to restrict the use of certain device identifiers for targeted advertising. Additionally, some mobile operating systems allow you to reset or rotate the advertising identifier associated with your device. You can find more information on how to opt out of personalized advertisements on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS and others.
- Self-regulatory. The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from marketers and advertising technology companies that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However, you may opt out of personalized advertisements on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS and others.
