Retargeting Interest-based Advertising	These cookies and similar technologies are used for “retargeting” and for interest-based advertising.

These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other preferences data derived from these observations, and may also track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time. We also use ad “retargeting” so that you can see advertisements from us on other websites. For example, we may share with Google certain personal information (such as unique user ID) in connection with advertising provided through Google’s “Customer Match” service.
