We have implemented the following:

Remarketing with Google AdSense

Similar with third-party vendors, such as Google, we use first- party Cookies (such as the Google Analytics Cookies) and third-party Cookies (such as the DoubleClick Cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions, and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.
