Online Targeted Advertising

The Platform uses cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and similar technologies to track and enhance your experience with the Platform. We and third parties, such as data analytics providers, social media networks, and advertising networks, use these technologies on our Platform to support and protect the Platform, for our own record-keeping purposes, as well as marketing and advertising uses.

You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, some parts of the Platform may not function properly.  Our Platform does not recognize “Do Not Track” signals, but it may recognize other opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). You may set such a signal through your browser or browser extension.

Certain U.S. state privacy laws, including California, may consider targeted advertising a “sale” of Personal Data. Because we engage in targeted advertising, in the last twelve (12) months, we have “sold” or “shared” Commercial Information, Internet or Similar Network Activity, and Educational and Professional Information identified in “PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT” with advertising networks, data analytics vendors, and social media networks
