Third party cookies are mainly used for the following purposes:
When you visit our sites, ad cookies will be stored on your computer so we can understand where you have been on the site. Our display advertising partner, Google Ads, then lets us present ads to you on other websites based on your previous interaction with us. This advertising technology does not store personal information such as your name, email address, postal address or telephone number.
Most browsers allow you to choose whether you wish to accept cookies. Different browsers make different controls available to you and so we provide links below to popular browser instructions on how you can do this. Generally, your browser will offer you the choice to accept, refuse or delete all cookies, or third-party cookies on a website, or those from specific websites. However, if you restrict our capability to set cookies, you may limit the full functionality of Fishbrain, which will make some of our services and features unavailable to you.
We may not recognize Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) signals from your web browsers or device. This is because there is not yet a universally accepted standard on how to interpret and respond to DNT signals, which often conflict with other settings. If and when a standard is established, we will re-examine how we can appropriately respond to DNT signals.
