If you reside in California, Colorado, Connecticut or Virginia, you may have the right to opt-out of certain types of processing for your personal information.

1. Right to Opt Out of Sale. You may have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. We generally do not sell your personal information for profit, but like many businesses, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technology on our Sites, and we share certain personal information, such as your IP address or device identifiers, to third-party advertisers in order to improve your user experience and to optimize our marketing activities. Under the broad definition of “sell” contained in some jurisdiction’s privacy laws, this could be considered a sale.
2. Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising. You may have the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information to third parties for behavioral or cross-contextual advertising purposes. Like many websites, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technology, and we share certain information, such as your IP address or device identifiers, to certain third-party advertisers in order to improve your user experience and to optimize our marketing activities. You have the right to direct us not to share or use your personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

To exercise your right to opt-out of sales and targeted advertising, please click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the website footer and submit your request. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out of targeted advertising.

If you are a resident of California or Colorado, you may also opt-out of sharing and sales by using an opt-out preference signal. The Global Privacy Control signal is currently the only opt-out preference signal we can recognize. You can visit the Global Privacy Control official site at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#about to learn how to configure your device to send such signals. We will honor and process the opt-out preference signal in a frictionless manner. Please note that the opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Sites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of sharing request on each device and browser you use to visit our Sites to completely opt-out using this method.

We do not process any of your sensitive personal information to infer characteristic about you.

“Shine the Light” Law. In addition to the CCPA, California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California residents asking about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes if a California customer has exercised an option to opt out of such information sharing. We have such a policy. If you want to opt out of any such sharing of your information, please contact us using the information below.

Do Not Track. Your browser may allow you to adjust your browser settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites that you visit. However, since uniform standards for “DNT" signals have not been adopted, we do not disable tracking technology that may be active on the Sites in response to any “do not track” requests that we receive from your browser.
