Our use of cookies also means that data relating to traffic on our Websites and about the types of third-party websites that visitors to our Websites also visit are aggregated and shared with other participants in the third-party advertising program.

If you choose not to provide certain information to us, this may limit your ability to use the Services.
You can also delete your account information and disconnect your Third Party Platform account connected with your account with us at any time through the App settings.
