Publicly Visible Information

If you create a user profile on the Website or leave a comment, certain information may be publicly visible.

The Website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, and customize Website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.

Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by the Website by using the appropriate setting on your internet browser and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Additionally, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via your internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers.

Sponsored Content Tracking Pixels: This Website may engage in sponsored campaigns with various influencer networks, brands, and agencies. All sponsored content is duly disclosed in accordance with the FTC’s requirements.
