We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

6. Third-party services
We may share information with trusted service providers who help us run the Site, such as our web host, email newsletter provider, payment processors (for example Stripe and PayPal), analytics providers (for example Google Analytics) and advertising partners (Google AdSense). These providers only use your information as needed to provide their services and are bound by their own privacy policies.
