8. Advertising & Cookies
We display third-party advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure effectiveness, and prevent fraud. These technologies may process device information, general location, and page activity to show ads that are relevant to the content you’re viewing.
Personalized ads & your choices. You can manage or opt out of Google’s ad personalization here, and learn more about how Google uses information for ads here. Browser-level controls (e.g., clearing cookies or using “Do Not Track”) and industry choice tools may also limit ad personalization.
EEA/UK/CH users. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we present a consent experience supported by a Google-certified CMP. Your ad choices in that banner (e.g., consent for cookies, legitimate interest) will be honored and can be changed at any time via the banner’s “Privacy” or “Consent” link in our footer.
Information we share with ad partners. We do not sell your personal information. Ad requests may include contextual page information so that ads match the content (for example, a verse page may trigger contextually relevant ads). We don’t allow personalized ads based on sensitive interests (such as religion) and rely on Google’s enforcement of those restrictions.
