c. Opt-out of web based tracking.
Since our Site uses third party technology (e.g., a cookie placed by Google Analytics) to collect information about your use of our Site, those third parties may provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. That advertising may appear either on our Site, or on other websites not operated by us. If you do not want third parties who collect information about your use of our services, you can opt-out of such at the Digital Advertising Alliance in the US, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Canada, or the European Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe.
Please note that opting-out of behavioral advertising does not mean that you will not receive advertising. It will, however, exclude you from targeted interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.
Many analytics providers allow end-users to opt out of the retention of their information, including our third-party analytics providers. Please note that often, unless you create an account with the analytics provider, your choice to opt out applies only to the device from which you make the request, because the providers use cookies on that device to recognize your choice. If you get a new device, install a new web browser, update your browser, or otherwise erase/alter your browser cookie files you may clear the opt-out cookie. You may opt-out of tracking by our analytics provider at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
