This Privacy Policy explains how PandaChecks ("we", "our", "the Service") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website and video-analysis platform.
By using PandaChecks, you agree to the terms described here.

1.3 Advertising Data
PandaChecks shows display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to PandaChecks and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
We do not control Google's data practices. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
