As noted above, you may also control how we or third parties display certain ads to you, as explained further in the respective privacy policies and ad preferences pages. You may opt out of the collection of data collected by using tools provided by industry groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (the “DAA”).

You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs. Please note that these tools only prevent collection of data pertaining to you on the browser on which they are installed, and will only function if your browser is set to accept third-party cookies.
