Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember information about your browsing activity.

First-party cookies are created by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are often used in behavioral advertising and analytics, and are created by domains other than the one you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and similar technologies ("Tags") may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising.

Most browsers provide options to block both first- and third-party cookies and to clear the browser's cache. You can typically find these settings in the "Help" section of your browser. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit All About Cookies.

Note: Disabling cookies may affect how you interact with the Website and limit some features. Also, opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will no longer see ads — it just means the ads will not be tailored to your interests.
