Cookie Policy
Our websites, online platforms, interactive applications, email communications, and advertisements utilize technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons. These tools help us analyze user behavior, identify popular areas of our sites, and assess the effectiveness of advertisements and search results.
Data collected through cookies and similar technologies is generally considered non-personal. However, if applicable laws classify Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers as personal data, we will treat them accordingly. When non-personal and personal data are combined, the resulting information is handled under our Privacy Policy.
Advertising and Tracking Preferences
Advertisements displayed through our advertising platform may appear in services such as the App Store or News. If you prefer not to receive targeted ads, you can enable the "Limit Ad Tracking" feature. This prevents your Company ID from being used for interest-based ads across devices. On mobile devices, activating this feature also restricts third-party apps from using the Advertising Identifier for personalized ads.
Please note that disabling interest-based ads does not remove advertisements entirely; you may still encounter contextual ads related to your searches or viewed content in services like News or the App Store.
Personalization and Data Usage
We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to store personal information when you interact with our websites, services, or applications. These tools are designed to improve and personalize your experience. For example:
- Storing your first name allows us to greet you personally during future visits.
- Saving preferences such as country, language, and profession helps us tailor our services to your needs.
- Tracking shopping behavior or service usage enables us to deliver more relevant ads and recommendations.
- Accessing device details and hardware identifiers supports system customization, service setup (e.g., iCloud), and enhanced customer support.

Log Data Collection
Like most online services, we automatically collect certain data and store it in log files. This includes:
- IP addresses
- Browser type and language
- Internet Service Provider (ISP) details
- Referring and exit pages
- Operating system information
- Timestamps and clickstream data
We use this data to analyze trends, administer our websites, track user engagement, improve our services, and gather demographic insights. This information also supports our marketing and advertising strategies.
Email and Pixel Tracking
Some of our email communications contain click-through URLs that direct you to specific content on our website via an intermediary server. This helps us measure interest in certain topics and assess the effectiveness of our messages. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, avoid clicking on these links in emails.
Additionally, our emails may include pixel tags that help us deliver messages in an optimized format and monitor whether emails are opened. This allows us to improve communication strategies and reduce unnecessary messages.
