We work with these third-party partners under strict contractual arrangements to ensure that any data collected through their cookies is processed in compliance with the relevant data protection laws. Although these cookies are outside the direct control of LevelUpWorld, we require that all third parties using our platform for data collection adhere to our high standards of privacy protection.
In addition, we adhere to advertising guidelines and recommendations as stipulated by industry bodies and advertising networks. This includes not only obtaining your consent before the use of any non-essential advertising cookies but also providing you with clear options for managing and opting out of targeted advertising.
