- Users can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting My Ad Center / Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com.
- If you haven’t opted out of third-party ad serving, other ad vendors or networks may also use cookies; you can opt out of some third-party vendors at http://www.aboutads.info/choices (US) or your local equivalent.
