We may use service providers to anonymize and aggregate Personally Identifiable Information in order to generate Anonymous Information.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also be used by our advertising service providers to support Online Behavioral Advertising, or Interest-based advertising as it is sometimes called. If you would like to learn more about Online Behavioral Advertising, please visit the “For Consumers” page on the AboutAds website. If you prefer that our advertising service providers do not know which pages you viewed on our website, you can opt-out on the “Consumer Choice Page” also located on the AboutAds website. Note: If you opt out of Online Behavioral Advertising, you may still receive online advertising from Marrow LLC. Opting out from a specific advertising provider means that the ads you do receive will not be based on your preferences or behavior. Also, In order for Online Behavioral Advertising opt-outs to work, your browser must be set to accept cookies. Because the opt-out is registered for the specific computer and browser you use when submitting the opt-out, you will need to opt-out again if you delete the cookies from your computer, buy a new computer, access our website from a different computer, login under a different screen name, or change web browsers.
