Brand Grader results are informational and do not constitute professional advice, a guarantee of performance, or a complete evaluation of your organization.

3. Cookies and Advertising Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, understand Website usage, measure marketing performance, and deliver or evaluate advertising.

These technologies may be provided by companies such as:

You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the operation of some Website features. You may also use the privacy and advertising controls offered by Google, Meta, and other providers.

Some privacy laws define certain disclosures involving advertising cookies or pixels as “selling,” “sharing,” or using personal information for “targeted advertising,” even when no money changes hands. We do not sell personal information for money. Where applicable law provides an opt-out right, you may submit a request using the contact information in Section 13.

We will process legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals when required by applicable law and when we can reasonably associate the signal with the relevant browser or device.
