• Local storage, which provides similar functionality but can hold more data outside your browser
• Web beacons, also called pixel tags, which record that a page was viewed or an email was opened

7. Cookies, Tracking, and Targeted Advertising

7.1 We use the technologies in Section 4.7 to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure the Service, measure performance, and support advertising.

7.2 Targeted advertising. We share certain identifiers and activity data with advertising platforms so that ads for Party Rips can be shown to you on other sites and apps, and so we can measure their effectiveness. Under California law this is treated as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, and under several other state laws it is treated as “targeted advertising” or a “sale.” You can opt out using the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the site footer or by the methods in Section 8.

7.3 Global Privacy Control. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser or extension transmits GPC, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing for the browser or device transmitting it.
