Advertising Consent & Preferences

We believe in full transparency about how advertising data works on our platform. This page explains our advertising partners and your control options.

How We Use Advertising Data

To serve relevant advertisements, our advertising partners may collect certain data about your browsing behavior through cookies and tracking pixels. We comply with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF 2.0).

How to Withdraw Consent or Opt Out

You may withdraw any optional advertising consent at any time via our Cookie Preference Manager. Additionally, you may opt out of Google's interest-based advertising directly at adssettings.google.com. Opting out of personalized ads does not reduce the number of ads you see; it means the ads may be less relevant to your interests.
