We may at times display Google Ads on some of our pages. To serve ads that are relevant to our website, Google gathers information from the words we use in the content of our web pages. To make the ads relevant to you more specifically, Google tracks some of your activities on the web by means of a tracking cookie.
If you have ever visited Google or any website that displays Google ads, you likely already have a Google cookie on your computer. It does not track or store your name, address, email address, or telephone number, but may track your IP address (the network address of the specific computer you're using) so that it can display ads that are relevant to your geographical area. It also feeds Google information about the topics of the pages you visit on our website and any other web sites you visit.
You can opt out of the use of Google's cookie by clicking the OPT-OUT button on their page on Advertising and Privacy: www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. You will still see any Google ads we place on our web pages, but they won't be making use of information about you (the user). They will just be targeted to the topics of our site's content.
