A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies
For example, when you visit a website that uses advertising services like AdSense, including analytics tools like Google Analytics, or embeds video content from YouTube, your web browser automatically sends certain information to the browser provider. This includes the URL of the page you’re visiting and your IP address. We may use the IP address, for example, to identify your general location, to measure the effectiveness of ads, and, depending on your settings, to improve the relevance of the ads you see. These may also set or read cookies that are already there. Apps that use Google advertising services, or Meta advertising services via social media sites also share information with Google, and/or other browsers, such as the name of the app and a unique identifier for advertising.
Sometimes, when processing information shared with us by sites and apps, those sites and apps will ask for your consent before allowing us to process your information. For example, a banner may appear on a site asking for consent for Google to process the information that site collects. When that happens, we will respect the purposes described in the consent you give to the site or app, rather than the legal grounds described. If you want to change or withdraw your consent, you should visit the site or app in question to do so.
