Ads are then presented to visitors based on their online behaviors and their actual or presumed commercial interests as indicated by those online behaviors.

Sharing Information with Advertising Providers
In certain countries, we work with advertising providers, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others, and receive audience-based data (such as pixel traffic and conversion data) from them based on non-identifiable information such as IP addresses. These providers may collect additional information from you, such as your IP address and information about your browser or operating system, may combine information about you with information from other companies and may place or recognize their own unique cookie on your browser. These cookies may contain demographic or other data in de-identified form. Cookies used by third party advertising technology providers and how these companies use the information gathered from the cookies will be governed by the respective company’s privacy policy. To block or limit this activity, see the information below and the NCBW-PGC Privacy Policy.
Advertising Choices
You may opt out of receiving interest-based advertising by visiting the following sites:
Digital Advertising Alliance (US) Consumer choice page
European Digital Advertising Alliance
Facebook You should see a link to the opt-out when you select “Why am I seeing this?” when using Facebook. You can also select “Hide all from this advertiser” within Facebook to stop seeing our ads. More information can be found on Facebook's.
As some of the tracking data for interest-based advertising is also used for other necessary purposes (such as analytics and fraud detection), opting out of interest-based advertising does NOT stop that data from being collected. You also will continue to receive non-interest-based advertisements and may not necessarily see fewer ads.
