This information may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy laws.
6. Use of Cookies Under Applicable Law
6.1 United States
Privacy laws in the United States differ by state. Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights regarding the collection and use of personal information through cookies and similar technologies.
6.2 California – CCPA/CPRA
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, cookies and similar technologies may involve the collection of personal information.
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
However, certain analytics, advertising or conversion tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law, particularly where they are used for cross-context behavioral advertising, advertising measurement or similar purposes.
California residents may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
7. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Where applicable, California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by:
- rejecting advertising cookies in the cookie settings;
- changing cookie preferences at any time;
- using a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, where implemented;
- enabling a recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, where required and technically supported.
If a valid Global Privacy Control signal is detected, we will treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser and device, where required under applicable law.
8. Global Privacy Control
Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a browser-based privacy signal that allows users to communicate an opt-out preference.
Where required under applicable law, including California law, we will honor valid GPC signals as an opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information for the browser or device through which the signal is sent.
Please note that GPC signals are browser- and device-specific. If you use different browsers or devices, you may need to enable GPC separately on each one.
9. Canada – PIPEDA
Under Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA, organizations must provide meaningful information about the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
Cookies that collect personal information are subject to transparency and consent requirements.
Strictly necessary cookies are used to provide and secure the website. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies, are used based on user consent where required.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on the website.
