Internet-Based Advertising & Cookie Disclosure
Internet-based advertising, also known as online behavioral advertising (OBA), refers to the practice of displaying ads tailored to your interests. These interests are inferred from your browsing behavior and online activities across various websites. This approach helps ensure that the promotional messages you see are relevant and useful to you.
How It Works & Technologies Used
Online behavioral advertising typically uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies—small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. These technologies serve distinct operational and advertising purposes:
- Essential Site Functionality: Remembering user preferences, secure authentication states, and basic website navigation settings.
- Analytics & Performance: Measuring aggregate site traffic, page load speeds, and user engagement metrics to improve our web development and design services.
- Interest-Based Advertising: Allowing third-party advertising networks (such as Google Ads) to collect non-personally identifiable browsing data to show you relevant advertisements across the internet.
