B. Choices About Tracking Technologies
Tracking Technologies Generally. Cookies and tracking pixels, among other Tracking Technologies, may generally be blocked, disabled, or removed by tools available as part of most browsers. You can also manage the use of some Tracking Technologies such as cookies and tracking pixels by using Top Innovations US’s Cookie Consent Tool. Please be aware that each website uses its own cookies, so cookie preferences should be set for each Top Innovations US website. If you choose to use our Cookie Consent Tool, a preference cookie will be placed on your device in order to maintain your settings. If you later delete cookies from your device, you will also remove the preference cookie. Therefore, in order to remain opted out of Tracking technologies, you will have to go back to the Cookie Consent Tool and renew your choices.
Do-Not-Track Signals. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, Top Innovations US currently does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a browser.
Analytics and Advertising. In addition to exercising your choices through our Cookie Consent Tool, you may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can personalize the ads you receive or opt out of ads from Google by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Microsoft by going to http://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
You may choose whether to receive some interest-based advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising online, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program for mobile apps. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out does not mean that you will no longer receive ads, but that the ads you see will no longer be relevant to your preferences. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or browser, or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-outs may not, or may no longer be effective.
Mobile Apps. With respect to Top Innovations US’s mobile apps, you can stop all collection of data generated by use of the app by uninstalling the app. Also, you may be able to exercise specific privacy choices, such as enabling or disabling certain location-based services, by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device.

Please note that your opt-out is limited to the email address or phone number used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other types of communications may continue. Even if you opt-out of receiving all promotional communications, Top Innovations US may, subject to applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or Top Innovations US’s ongoing relationship with you.
