You may visit www.aboutads.info/choices to learn more about this type of advertising, as well as about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising practices from companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) self-regulatory program. Additionally, you may opt-out of this type of advertising in mobile applications from companies that participate in the DAA’s AppChoices app by downloading the app from the iOS or Android app store. You may also stop the collection of precise location data from a mobile device by accessing your device location service settings. We adhere to the DAA’s self-regulatory principles. You will still receive advertising, but those ads may be less relevant to your interests.
