What Automated Decision Making and/or Profiling We Do

We use Google AdSense to deliver personalized ads based on your browsing behavior and interests, as inferred from cookies and other tracking technologies. This involves automated decision-making to select relevant ads.

  • Purpose: To provide ads that align with your interests, enhancing your browsing experience.
  • Impact: Ad personalization does not involve significant decisions affecting your legal rights (e.g., credit applications).
