Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party" cookies) or by a third party whose service is integrated into the website ("third-party" cookies). Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).

4.4 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Most browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. However, we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of "sale" and "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA and analogous state laws, where supported by your browser.
5. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies collect information that is considered personal information under privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA, including IP address and device identifiers. Our use of this information is described in our Privacy Policy at goodads.ai/privacy. You have rights with respect to that information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it. See the Privacy Policy for details on how to exercise those rights.
