ICARO Media Group
These cookies are typically launched in response to user actions that involve service requests, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms. Though users can configure their browsers to block or notify them about these cookies, doing so may disrupt some site functionalities.
These essential cookies contribute to enhanced functionality and personalization, and may be set either by the website itself or by third-party service providers incorporated into the site. Choosing not to permit these cookies could result in some or all services not performing correctly.
Additionally, users have the right to opt out of having their personal information sold or shared for targeted advertising. A toggle switch is provided for this purpose, allowing users to exercise their opt-out rights. For further information, the privacy notice offers more detailed consumer rights under United States regulations.
Another category of cookies tracks visits and traffic sources to measure and improve site performance. These cookies gather anonymized, aggregated data that helps identify popular and underperforming pages, as well as understand visitor navigation patterns. Blocking these cookies limits site performance monitoring capabilities.
Advertising partners set another set of cookies, which do not directly store personal details but recognize the user’s browser and internet device to create targeted advertising profiles. Users who block these cookies will still receive ads, although they may be less relevant to their interests.
Lastly, cookies associated with social media services added to the site allow users to share content within their networks. These can track browsing across multiple sites and build up interest profiles, influencing the content and ads users see elsewhere. Disabling these cookies could impair the functionality of sharing tools and the personalization of content across different platforms.
