You may at any time opt-out from receiving these types of communications by turning them off at the device level through your settings or through the mobile application settings.
We and our third-party service providers, including our marketing partners and analytics providers, may also use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts and similar technology ("Cookies").

We do not have access or control over these Cookies. In addition, some of our third party advertising vendors or partners show our ads on sites across the Internet.
