Sale of Personal Information
Given the CCPA's broad definition of "sale," except as otherwise discussed below, we consider disclosures of information collected through the use of third-party cookies and pixel tags (or similar technologies) to our adtech and analytics partners as "sales" that users can opt-out of via our Cookie Settings link. In certain cases, we have contractually limited our partners, such as (i) agencies that help us with our campaigns and use of these advertising/analytics technology services or (ii) adtech or analytics partners that only process Personal Information on our behalf, so that any disclosures to these partners are not considered "sales."
