6. Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others Interest-Based Ads.

In addition to the cookies we deliver to your computer or mobile device through our Sites, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons.

Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors across nonaffiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on our Sites or on other websites.

You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on our Sites. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to our Sites sent to Google Analytics, you may follow the link in the section labeled “Your Choices,” below. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to us.

In addition, if you would like to opt out of having participating entities track your online behavior for advertising purposes when you are browsing our Sites, you can follow the link provided in the section labeled “Your Choices,” below. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that allows you to choose whether each listed entity may collect and use data for interest-based advertising purposes.

Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Sites do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we may collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Sites and after you leave our Sites.
