Cookies are small amounts of data that are stored within your computer's Internet browser and that are accessed and recorded by the websites that you visit, as well as by the companies that place advertising on websites, so that they can recognize the same browser navigating online at a later time.

If you visit the Sites by linking directly from a third-party website, we may provide the third party with select information about your individual transaction that you made after being referred. In order to track and credit your transaction the third-party website may give you a unique code, cookie or graphic which will uniquely identify you. The presence of a third-party navigation bar at the top of any page on any Site is an indication that the third-party website may have access to information about your activity on such Site.

4. Digital Advertising and Analytics

We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Sites and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising. You can visit www.aboutads.info or www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on your browser by companies participating in industry self-regulatory programs.

Note that choosing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Advertising Providers may continue to collect data for other purposes, including analytics and other operational purposes.

If you delete your cookies or use a different browser, you will need to renew your opt-out choice. You may also be able to limit data collection for advertising purposes using tools available on your device. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, the Sites may not function as intended.

We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Sites and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. Flight Club uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Sites and for analytics and marketing purposes.
