Advertising and Tracking Preferences

Advertisements served through our advertising platform may appear in services such as the App Store or News. If you prefer not to receive targeted ads, you can enable the "Limit Ad Tracking" feature. This ensures that your Company ID is excluded from interest-based ads across devices. On mobile devices, activating this feature also prevents third-party apps from utilizing the Advertising Identifier for targeted advertisements. Please note that while interest-based ads are disabled, you may still encounter context-based ads, such as those related to your search queries or viewed content, in services like News or the App Store.

What information do we collect from cookies?

We want your access to our Services to be as simple, efficient, and useful as possible. To achieve this, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, improve website security, and display personalized advertisements.

Cookies are small text files that are automatically downloaded to your device when you visit almost any website. They are stored by your web browser and contain basic information about your internet usage. Your browser sends information from these cookies back to the website each time you visit it again, allowing the website to recognize your device and enhance your experience, including by providing you with personalized content.

We also use other tracking technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, or server logs, which have similar functionality. Additionally, we use cookies and tracking technologies to remember your login details so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you use our Services, or to help us understand your preferences.

To give you control, we provide a cookie consent tool that allows you to customize your cookie settings. You can access the Cookie Consent Tool by clicking the "Cookie Consent" link at the bottom of each page and adjusting your preferences in our cookie banner. Additionally, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of cookies at any time by clicking the "Cookie Consent" link and modifying and saving your settings. In your internet browser settings, you can choose which cookies to accept and which to reject.

We allow third parties to collect and use information obtained during your online activity to provide you with personalized advertising (both from us and third parties across the Internet), analyze engagement with our website or application, and improve the delivery of our Services. These third parties are listed in our cookie consent tool, where we provide details about them and links to their privacy policies.

Personalization and Data Usage

Our company and its partners may utilize cookies and similar technologies to store personal information when you engage with our websites, services, or applications. These tools are designed to enhance and personalize your experience. For example, storing your first name allows us to greet you personally during subsequent visits. Details such as your country, language preferences, and professional background help us customize services to meet your needs. Information about your shopping habits or service usage enables us to deliver more relevant advertisements and communications. Access to your contact information, device data, and hardware identifiers supports features like operating system customization, service setup (e.g., iCloud), and improved customer support.

Log Data Collection

Like most online services, we automatically collect certain information and store it in log files. This includes details such as IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP) information, referring and exit pages, operating systems, timestamps, and clickstream data. This data is used to analyze trends, manage our websites, evaluate user behavior, enhance our products and services, and gain demographic insights. Additionally, it supports marketing and advertising efforts.

Email and Pixel Tracking

Some email communications include “click-through URLs” that redirect you to specific content on our website via an intermediary server. This tracking helps measure interest in topics and the effectiveness of our communications. To avoid being tracked, refrain from clicking these links in emails. Furthermore, pixel tags in emails allow us to deliver messages in a readable format and monitor whether they are opened. This information is used to improve our communication strategies and reduce unnecessary messages.

We may update this Policy in the future. If we determine that any changes are significant, we will notify you using one or more of the following methods: sending you a message about the changes, posting a notice on our website, and/or publishing the updated Policy on the website.
