We will also set Google Analytics cookies. This allows Google Analytics to collect, process and store compiled aggregated, anonymized data that is NOT personal information such as name, email, phone number etc., but information about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We use analytics to track aggregated data such as what pages on our site were looked at, for how long, what interactions took place and so on. None of the information is linked to personal information about you, but a ClientID cookie is associated to the device to know that it's the same device to accumulate site usage to. This data provides us with the necessary information to make informed decisions about our site and business strategies. This is the only user data that we intentionally collect or have access to and we do not sell this data. If you would like to know what data we have collected for your device's ClientID we can obtain or delete that information for you. If you wish to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking you can do so by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on here. You can read about Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Webites here.

This is done through links we provide on our site that direct you to their respective site, along with a tracking pixel that enables the third-party Marketing Networks to track the performance of the ad placement. For instance, to count how many times an ad has been seen and/or clicked on.
