Looks like they

  • collect "depersonalized" data
  • they use hidden pixels for tracking
  • allow advertisers to gather info such as your IP address

So they share "depersonalized" data with advertisers.

They user hidden pixels to track you on their website.

And they allow advertisers to collect your IP address to send you personalized ads.
