3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

mybodykarma uses Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to display advertising on our website. These services use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your interests and browsing history.

3.1 How Google AdSense Works

Google AdSense uses cookies to:

• Serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites across the internet
• Measure ad effectiveness and performance
• Personalize ad content based on your interests

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based advertising.

3.2 Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:

•   Google Ads Settings:   https://adssettings.google.com
•   Network Advertising Initiative:   https://optout.networkadvertising.org
•   Digital Advertising Alliance:   https://optout.aboutads.info
•   European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance:   https://youronlinechoices.eu

Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads — you will simply see ads that are less relevant to your interests.

3.3 Other Advertising Partners

In addition to Google AdSense, we may work with other advertising partners including Mediavine, Monumetric, Ezoic, Amazon Native Shopping Ads, or similar networks. Each partner has its own privacy policy and opt-out procedures, which we link to when those partnerships are active.
