COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Like most online services, we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide and personalize the Service, analyse use, target advertisements and prevent fraud. Cookies and similar technologies allow us and our partners to store their preferences and track your activities within the Service. Note that our partners may operate under their own privacy policies.

We and our partners collect and store information about users’ interactions with unaffiliated websites and applications that use our technologies, including cookies and similar tracking technologies. This allows us to infer the presence of a common user or household behind multiple devices or browsers, for instance, and then link those browsers and devices into a device graph. We do so in order to

• detect and prevent fraud;
• allow users to use the Service on one device and pick up seamlessly where they left off on another device;
• analytics, personalization and attribution;
• limit the number of times a user is shown the same advertisement, across all known or inferred devices; and/or
• provide personalized advertising on each device that is inferred from the browsing patterns on all of the devices.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Service may then not function properly.
