If User does not wish to be presented with behavioral advertisements as part of their experience, they can opt out in the Profile section of the Website. User, then will still see ads, but they will not be selected using behavioral advertising information. Opting out will not limit the collection of information, but will influence how it is used.

3.9 The Website and its service providers may use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons), as well as resettable device identifiers, for various reasons. Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on User’s device when they browse and use websites and online services. The Website may use other technologies, such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on User’s device. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons associated with those cookies. If User uses the Website on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, it may collect a resettable device identifier from their device. Resettable device identifiers (also known as advertising identifiers) are similar to cookies and are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, the "Identifier for Advertisers" (or IDFA) on Apple iOS devices and the "Google Advertising ID" on Android devices), and certain streaming media devices. Like cookies, resettable device identifiers are used to make online advertising more relevant and for analytics and optimization purposes. The Website may use these types of technologies for various reasons, like making it easy to access the Website by remembering User when they return; to provide, analyze, understand and enhance the use of the Website; to enforce the Website’s terms, prevent fraud; to improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on the Website; to deliver and tailor the Website’s marketing or advertising, and to understand interactions with the Website’s emails, marketing, and online ads on third party sites. The Website may also use these technologies to support the operation of our ad supported functionalities.
3.9.1 Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide the Website availability online. For example, the Website and its service providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify Users when they use the Website and applications. They also help the Website to enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and maintain the Website’s security.
3.9.2 Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies may help the Website to customize and enhance User’s online experience, by helping the Website to remember User’s preferences and prevent them from needing to re-enter Information they have previously provided (for example, during signing up). The Website may also use these cookies to collect information (such as popular pages, conversion rates, viewing patterns, click-through and other information) about Users' use of the Website so that it can enhance and personalize the Website and conduct market research. Deletion of these types of cookies may result in limited functionality of our service.
3.9.3 Advertising cookies and resettable device identifiers: these cookies and resettable device identifiers may use information about User’s use of this and other websites and apps, response to ads and emails, and to deliver ads that are more relevant to such User and for analytics and optimization purposes. When the Website advertise the services on other websites or apps, some of the websites and apps, as well as advertising technology companies that used to purchase, deliver, optimize, and/or measure our advertisements (collectively “Advertising Partners”), may receive information from the Website as part of its campaign targeting, measurement, and optimization (e.g., steps completed in sign-up and site visit or app open/install information). Common uses of this type of information are to judge the effectiveness of and optimize ad campaigns, by allowing Advertising Partners to see when someone who saw an ad later signed up for a service. Another common use is to make sure the Website does not serve ads trying to get individuals to sign up for the Website if they are already a User. In connection with the ads, the Website, its ads providers and measurement companies can use these technologies to operate and support the Website’s ads functionalities, including supporting an advertiser’s ad campaigns, measurement, and optimization of the same.
3.9.4 For more information about cookies set through the Website, as well as other types of online tracking (including the collection of information by third parties about User’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services for online behavioral advertising), and to exercise choices regarding them, contact data@sofadigital.com. At this time, we do not respond to web browser "do not track" signals. Exercising choice over cookies is specific to that web browser or device. If Users wish to exercise choices, they can exercise such choices by accessing the Profile or contacting the Website.
3.9.5 To opt out of behavioral ads from the Website in connection with a resettable device identifier, User must configure the appropriate setting on their own device (usually found under "privacy" or "ads" in the device's settings). The User may still see the Website’s ads on their device, but they will not be selected based on User’s likely interests. Exercising choice over a resettable identifier is specific to that device.
3.9.6 There are a number of ways to exercise choice regarding technologies that are similar to cookies, such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). For example, many popular browsers provide the ability to clear browser storage, commonly in the settings or preferences area; User should consult their browser's help function or support area to learn more.
