advertising technologies, or event registration systems that collect information according to their own privacy
policies.
Although IPPA may use analytics pixels, audience measurement tools, or advertising technologies, we do not currently
use personal information to directly sell products through our website. These technologies may still collect
information about website activity and interactions for analytics, measurement, audience insights, and website
improvement purposes.

preferences, and enhance the overall user experience.
Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser. They may be used for:
- Website functionality
- Session management

- Security and fraud prevention
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may modify your browser settings to decline or delete cookies
if you prefer. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.
Some browsers offer a “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar privacy preference signals. Where required by

Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, embedded content, or external services that are not operated
