Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through cookies or similar data collection technologies. We and our third party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. Depending on your location as detected from your IP address, we may offer you a “Cookie Banner” through which you can exercise certain control over the use of cookies on the Online Services.  As an alternative, or if the Banner is not displaying, you may exercise control by following the opt-out instructions below.

These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the Doubleclick advertising cookie) or other third party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Online Services. You opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences.

If you want to opt out of interest-based advertisements across all your browsers and devices, you will need to opt out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt out again.  And some of these opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies.
