These collaborations may involve sharing your information with them to facilitate targeted advertising.

These tools collect data about your browsing activity on our platforms, such as the pages you visit, your device’s technical information (e.g., IP address, device type), and data related to ads served to you. These practices are carried out by companies like Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google, Bing, and other advertising partners.
