Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.
Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies, by the Website, by using a corresponding setting of your internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software browser programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers.

Advertising
Display Ads – We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the Site, which may use cookies, as noted above.
Retargeting Ads – From time to time, the Site may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website.
