California (CCPA/CPRA) and other U.S. state laws

  • We may use tracking for cross-context behavioral advertising, which can be considered “selling” or “sharing” personal information.

  • To opt out, use “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” (footer link) or enable GPC in your browser. We will honor eligible signals.

Some of these cookies are strictly necessary for affiliate attribution; others may be used for ad personalization. See our Affiliate Disclosure on the Site for more details.

We may also work with advertising partners (for example, contextual or interest-based advertising). Where required, we obtain your consent before setting advertising cookies and give you tools to opt out at any time.

10) Analytics

We use analytics to understand how the Site is used (e.g., popular pages, traffic sources, time on page) so we can improve content and performance. In regions requiring consent, analytics run only after you opt in. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie Settings.

11) Current cookie list (dynamic)
