Cookies, Pixels, and Advertising
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies, including the Meta Pixel and Google Ads/Google Analytics tags, to understand how visitors use our website, to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns, and to show you relevant ads on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and the Google Ads network.
Meta Pixel
Helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions people take on our website, and allows us to build custom and lookalike audiences for advertising purposes.
Google Ads / Google Analytics
Helps us measure website traffic, conversions, and the effectiveness of our Google advertising campaigns, and may use cookies to serve remarketing ads to prior visitors.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized advertising through Meta's Ad Preferences and Google's Ads Settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
Information shared with Meta and Google for advertising purposes (such as hashed email addresses for Custom Audiences) is used solely for advertising measurement and targeting and is handled in accordance with each platform's own privacy policy and data processing terms.
