WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. They are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. You can manage cookies through settings on the browser on your device and in the case of analytics cookies by going to the respective opt-out pages.
ADVERTISING
We may use how you browse and shop in order to show you ads for Accelerated Financing that are more relevant to your interests. We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to you. Interest-based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behavior in order to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our Site or third-party sites not owned by Accelerated Financing.
We belong to ad networks that may use your browsing history across participating websites to show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. Currently, our Site does not recognize if your browser sends a “do not track” signal or similar mechanism to indicate you do not wish to be tracked or receive interest-based ads. You can opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from us by clicking on the “ad choices” icon near the advertisement and selecting the marketing activities of which you would like to opt-out. To learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative websites, or by clicking the “ad choices” icon by the advertisement and selecting what types of advertisement you wish to opt out of. Please note that if you choose to opt out, you may continue to see ads on our Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.
