Advertising Policy
We, along with third-party vendors such as Google and Facebook, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie). These third parties may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.

The served ads will be targeted based on your previous browsing history and may include retargeting codes. For example, third-party vendors may show you Foodstream Inc.’s ads on certain websites across the Internet, even after you leave our platform. The collected information is anonymized, meaning it cannot be tracked back to individuals. Using such tools, we learn how to optimize and serve ads based on a user’s past visits, providing you with a better user experience.
