We currently do not offer an on-site cookie preference center. You can manage cookies using your browser settings and by contacting us with any consent changes.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, SDKs, and tags.

How we use cookies

  • To operate core features (e.g., page loading, remembering basic preferences).
  • To understand how visitors use our content and improve the Site.
  • To show contextual or personalized advertising and measure ad performance.
  • To maintain security, prevent fraud, and diagnose service issues.

Types of cookies we use

1) Strictly necessary

Required for essential functions like page navigation, load balancing, and security. These cannot be turned off in our systems.

2) Performance & analytics

Help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve performance. They show us which pages are popular and how visitors move around the Site.

3) Functionality

Enable enhanced features and personalization (e.g., remembering preferences). If you do not allow these, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4) Advertising & measurement

Used by us and our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on this and other sites, and to measure ad performance. These may track your browser across websites.

Examples of partners we may work with (subject to change): ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense/Ezoic), analytics providers, anti-fraud and security vendors, and affiliate networks. Partners may set their own cookies according to their policies.

Representative cookie list

This is a representative overview. Specific names and durations may vary over time as our Site and partners update their services.

How to manage your choices

  • Browser controls: You can block, delete, or be notified about cookies via your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
  • Change your consent with us: If you want to withdraw or modify consent for non-essential cookies, please contact us via our Contact page and tell us your preferences. We will do our best to honor your request, though some third-party cookies may need to be cleared in your browser.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): The Site does not currently respond to DNT signals due to lack of an industry standard.

California privacy choices

California residents may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Until we launch an on-site opt-out page, please submit your request via our Contact page and specify “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”

Retention

Cookies persist for their indicated lifetimes unless you delete them earlier using your browser settings. Data derived from cookies is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described here and in our Privacy Policy.
