Advertising and Data Analytics
We collaborate with others to provide analytics and business intelligence services, serve ads, and perform related services across the web and on mobile apps. These organizations may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and mobile apps, including your IP address, web browser and mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion information.

We may also share identifiers, such as email addresses and phone numbers, with some of our advertising partners. These advertising partners convert this information into a unique identifier that can then be used to display more relevant ads to you across the web and on mobile apps. Your device may also include a feature that allows you to opt out of certain information being collected through mobile apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.
