Cookies
Cookies are small web
files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through
your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s
system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.
How We Use Cookies – We use first-party and third-party cookies for the
following purposes:
·
to
make our Services function properly;
·
to
improve our Services;
·
to
recognize you when you return to the AI TICKER CHAT Site (or one of our other
Services) and to remember information you have already provided;
·
to
collect information about your activities over time and across third party
websites or other online services in order to deliver

How to Manage Cookies – You may disable the

b.
Online Analytics and Advertising Technologies
We and our third-party
vendors may use automated technologies (including cookie identifiers on our AI
TICKER CHAT Site), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or
deliver content when you are on our Services or on other devices, apps or websites.
c.
Interest-Based Advertising
We (or our service
providers) may use the information we collect, for instance, IP addresses and
unique mobile device identifiers, to locate or try to locate the same unique
users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or
computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to
better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience
across devices. If you wish to opt out of cross device tracking for purposes of
interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. We may
also use cross-device targeting to help identify our users and serve
advertising. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or
“personalized” advertising—and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.
You can learn more about
interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising
by visiting (i) the Network Advertising Initiative’s
Consumer Opt-Out link or
(ii) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out
link. To opt out of Google
Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you
can visit the Google Ads Settings page.
Please note that even if
you opt-out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, in that
case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not
control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular
company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.
d.
Mobile Applications
Depending on your
permissions, we may receive your Personal Information from your Internet
service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile device who do not want to
receive interest-based advertising may opt-out in several ways. Learn more
about your choices for mobile devices by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for
Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own
instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application
advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine
how you can opt out of use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized
advertising.
