for us and other advertisers. We may also act as an advertising network and use
information collected through a variety of Data Technologies while you are on

collection takes place both on the site and on third-party's websites and mobile
applications. This process allows 2CarPros and third parties to deliver targeted
advertising, enhance marketing programs and help track the effectiveness of such
efforts. Advertising networks also may use this information for determining or
predicting the characteristics and preferences of their respective advertising
audiences and measuring the effectiveness of their advertising in accordance
with their privacy policies.
We do not provide information that is directly associated with a specific person
(such as name and address) to any advertising network when you interact with or

advertisement, the advertiser may make an assumption that you are interested in
the subject matter of the advertisement

on the site to deliver third-party ads or collecting information about your
visit for these purposes and give you the ability to opt-out of this use of your
information. You may see an icon in or around third-party advertisements on the
site that use interest-based advertising programs and on pages where data is
collected and used for online interest-based advertising. Clicking on this icon
will provide additional information about the companies and data practices that
were used to deliver the ad. You can opt out of delivery of targeted advertising
to you by 2CarPros and by multiple other companies by visiting:
www.aboutads.info/choices and www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Please note that even if you opt out, you will continue to receive
advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your specific interests.
Interest-based advertising, also called "online behavioral" advertising. is
customized based on predictions generated over time from your visits across
different websites, including our site, devices and mobile applications.

our site. Unless and until required by applicable law, our site does not
recognize browser “do not track” signals. However, several of our partners who
utilize these cookies, beacons and tools on our site enable you to opt out of
this interest-based advertising.
Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”)
and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the
targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving
certain targeted ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from
DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices; (ii) for app targeted ads
from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices; and (iii) for
targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver
certain targeted ads to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any
targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other
customers or from other technology services).
You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile
device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device
settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of
Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).

programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt
out options or programs.
