The ads are for us and third-party advertisers and appear both on and off the Services. 

We and third parties may use cookies and other tracking technologies to understand how you use the Services and facilitate serving relevant ads.

    including as we consider necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce or defend legal rights, obligations, privacy, safety or property in regard to the Services or our employees, agents or users or to comply with applicable law or legal process, including responding to requests from public and government authorities. 
  • Social media services, if you log into the Services with a social media service or if you connect a social media account with the Services. In that case, we may share your information with that social media service, depending on your settings. The social media service’s privacy policy then applies to their practices regarding your information.

    collect or receive certain information about you and/or your use of the Services, including to provide content, ads (including personalized ads) or functionality, or to measure and analyze ad performance on our Services or other websites or platforms.

Some of this information may be combined with information collected across different websites, online services and other linked or associated devices. We try to limit how third parties can use the information they gather from you or that we provide. However, some advertising and analytics vendors combine information they gather about you through our Services with information they receive from others in order to target ads to you across other services and to improve their own services. Our Cookie Notice provides more information about how these technologies are used. 
  • We may also share information, including personal information about you (for example, e-mail address) in hashed or other obscured format, for advertising purposes, including personalized advertising, either in connection with our Services or for our products on other websites or platforms.
