you. We do this to store your preferences, collect statistical data and track your
use of our Service. Ad companies (including but not limited to Google and Facebook)
may also place cookies on your computer to track your activities across various
sites so that they can display targeted ads.
Cookies are widely used, and most web browsers are configured initially to accept cookies automatically. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you may adjust and configure your browser settings accordingly. However, if you turn off cookies, or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie, some features and services on the Service may not function properly.

identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer), instead of cookies, to recognize
you. We may do this to store your preferences and track your use of the Applications.
Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted. Ad companies may use device IDs to
track your use of the Applications, track the number of ads displayed, measure ad
performance and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytic companies may
use device IDs to track information about usage of the Applications.
