4. Cookies, advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Website.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this Website or other websites.

Non-essential cookies, including advertising cookies, are only used according to the choices you make. You can change your choices at any time through the privacy settings link on the Website.
Where personalized ads are not allowed or you do not consent, Google may still show non-personalized ads, which use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and combating fraud and abuse.

10. International transfers
Some of our service providers, including Google, may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.
