We engage in interest-based advertising.

We and our partners display interest-based advertising using information gathered about you over time across multiple websites, mobile applications, or other platforms.

Interest-based advertising or “”online behavioural advertising”” includes ads served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include ads we think are relevant based on your shopping habits or online activities. These ads might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.

How do we gather relevant information about you for interest-based advertising?

To decide what is relevant to you, we use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. We gather this information using the tracking tools described above.

We work with third parties who help gather this information. These third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect. That might include online usage information.

You can control tracking tools and can opt out of interest-based advertising.

In engaging in interest-based advertising, we adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising, which you can review at www.aboutads.info/principles.

On our website, we typically use cookies to engage in interest-based advertising. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. To find out more about how to enable, disable, or delete cookies from your web browser, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org/ and www.adobe.com/devnet/security.html. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can go to www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings. If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop. Options you select are browser and device specific.

In addition, the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising program provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behaviour recorded and used for advertising purposes. To opt out of having participating entities collect your online behaviour for advertising purposes when browsing our websites, visit www.aboutads.info/choices/. To opt out of having participating entities collect your online behaviour for advertising purposes when using our mobile apps, download and use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “”App Choices”” app. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.

Our Do Not Track Policy

Some websites have “”do not track”” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals.
