The website collaborates with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising displayed on the website. When you visit the website, Mediavine serves content and advertisements that may employ both first and third-party cookies. These cookies are small text files sent to your computer or mobile device (“device”) by the web server, allowing the website to retain certain information about your browsing activity.

First-party cookies are generated by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are commonly used in behavioral advertising and analytics and are created by domains other than the website being visited. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and similar technologies (“Tags”) may be placed on the website to monitor interactions with advertising content and optimize ad targeting. Most internet browsers offer functionality that allows you to block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. Instructions on how to manage cookies can usually be found in the “help” feature of your browser’s menu bar. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can refer to the resources at All About Cookies.

It’s important to note that rejecting cookies does not mean you won’t see ads when visiting our site; you’ll still encounter non-personalized advertisements if you choose to opt out.

When serving personalized ads, the website collects the following data using cookies:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link with other end-user information independently collected by the partner, enabling them to deliver targeted advertisements. These partners may additionally gather data about end-users from various sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link this data with information collected from Mediavine publishers to provide interest-based advertising across online experiences, including devices, browsers, and apps. This data encompasses usage data, cookie information, device details, information about user interactions with advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and data about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Unique IDs may be created to form audience segments used for targeted advertising.
