Cookie Policy

​

Effective Date: 1/1/2026

​

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Site. This includes cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and web beacons.

 

1) What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Some cookies are needed for the Site to work. Others help with analytics, advertising, and remembering preferences.

 

2) Categories of Cookies We Use

A) Strictly Necessary Cookies

Required for core Site functions such as security, fraud prevention, load balancing, and consent management. These cannot be disabled in our systems.

B) Functional Cookies

Help remember your preferences and improve your experience. Optional.

C) Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve performance and content. Optional.

D) Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Because we run ads and retargeting, we may use cookies and pixels to:

• measure ad performance

• build audiences for retargeting

• deliver interest-based advertising across sites and services

These cookies are optional in jurisdictions that require opt-in consent.

 

3) Consent and Cookie Choices

Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (including analytics and advertising cookies). Guidance from EU regulators indicates that scrolling or continued browsing is not valid consent for non-essential cookies and that consent should be given through a clear affirmative choice.

You can manage cookie preferences by:

• using our cookie banner and preferences center (if available on the Site)

• adjusting your browser settings to delete or block cookies (this may affect Site functionality)

 

4) California “Do Not Sell or Share” and Global Privacy Control

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. “Sharing” can include disclosure for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Attorney General also recognizes opt-out requests submitted through user-enabled Global Privacy Control signals, where applicable.

If the Site provides a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, you may use it to opt out of sharing for targeted advertising. If we detect a valid opt-out preference signal, we will process it in accordance with applicable law.

 

5) Web Beacons, Pixels, and Email Tracking

We may use pixels or beacons on the Site and in communications to understand engagement and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Some pixels may be provided by advertising or analytics partners.

 

6) Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties whose tools appear on our Site, including:

• advertising platforms and measurement partners

• embedded podcast and video players

• payment processors or ecommerce tools

• social media embeds

These third parties may collect information directly from your browser, subject to their own privacy policies.

 

7) Cookie Retention

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which expire when you close your browser

• persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them

We recommend publishing a cookie list table on the Site with each cookie’s provider, purpose, category, and duration.

 

8) Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, vendors, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on the Site.
