4. Google AdSense & Advertising

FennecStats uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites on the Internet. This allows Google to show you more relevant ads.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our sites and other sites on the Internet.

5. Cookies We Use

8. Data Security

All traffic between your browser and FennecStats is encrypted via HTTPS. IP addresses are hashed before storage. We do not sell or trade your personal data. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT, we currently do not respond to this signal. However, you can opt out of personalized advertising as described in Section 4.
