Cookies and Privacy Settings on Yahoo Platforms

Usage data collected includes the number of visitors to pages, device types (for example, iOS or Android), browsers used, and the duration of visits. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual users, helping Yahoo measure how its services are used and optimize accordingly.
Consent and Data Usage
When you choose to click “Accept All,” Yahoo and its partners—which include 240 members of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework—may store information on your device and use precise data such as geolocation, IP addresses, browsing, and search data. This is done to conduct analyses, deliver personalized ads and content, measure advertising effectiveness, perform audience research, and develop new services.
If you prefer not to allow Yahoo or its partners to use cookies and personal data for these additional purposes, you can select “Reject All.” For a tailored experience, you can manage your privacy options by clicking “Manage Privacy Settings.”
You retain the ability to revoke or modify your consent at any time by accessing the “Privacy and Cookies Settings” or the “Privacy Dashboard” on Yahoo sites and apps. For detailed information about how your personal data is used, Yahoo provides comprehensive statements in its Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
