Google Ads & Analytics: Google and other vendors may use cookies/device identifiers to deliver and measure ads and to understand site usage. Our policy includes opt-out instructions consistent with Google’s privacy-policy expectations for advertisers.

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense. However, some privacy laws treat certain ad/analytics sharing as a “sale” or “sharing.” See “Your Choices” below.
