6. Google AdSense and Advertising

FOS News may use Google AdSense or other advertising services to display advertisements on the website.

Google and other third-party advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to collect information associated with advertising activity.

Google states that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to this website or other websites.

Where applicable and where legally permitted, advertising providers may use information such as cookies or similar identifiers to provide advertisements that may be more relevant to a user’s interests.

Users may have the ability to control personalized advertising through Google’s advertising settings and other available privacy controls.

Information about Google’s advertising practices is available through Google’s privacy and advertising resources.

FOS News does not independently control Google’s advertising algorithms or determine which advertisements are displayed to individual users.

8. Non-Personalized and Limited Advertising

Depending on advertising configuration, user consent, geographic location, and applicable requirements, advertisements may be served without using certain forms of personalized advertising.

Advertising behavior may vary depending on the user’s location, consent choices, browser settings, device configuration, and the advertising products being used.

9. Third-Party Advertising Providers

In addition to Google, FOS News may use other advertising networks or third-party advertising providers in the future.

Where third-party advertising services are used, those providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies in connection with advertising and measurement.

Third-party advertising providers operate according to their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.

Where required, FOS News will provide appropriate disclosures regarding advertising providers.
