Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, pictures, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor visited the other site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate additional third-party monitoring, and monitor your interaction with this included content, including detecting your interaction with the content included, if you have an account and are logged on to that website.
Who we share your data with
We use data for analysis and measurement to understand how our services are used. For example, we analyze data about your visits to our websites, for actions such as optimizing product design. We also use data about ads you interact with to help advertisers understand the performance of their ad campaigns. We use Google Analytics and Google ads. When you visit a website that uses Google Analytics, Google and your Google Analytics customer may link information about your activity from that site to activities from other sites that use ad services.
Google Analytics is based on first-party cookies, which means cookies are regulated by the Google Analytics customer. Using our systems, data generated through Google Analytics can be linked by the Google Analytics customer and Google to third-party cookies related to visits to other websites. For example, an advertiser may want to use their data from Google Analytics to create more relevant ads or further analyse their traffic
