Your Privacy Choices

We respect your privacy and believe you should stay in control of how your information is used. This page explains the choices you may have regarding cookies, advertising, and certain uses of personal information when you shop or browse After Dark Treasures.

We use this information to:

Cookies, Similar Technologies, and Advertising Partners

We (and certain third parties) may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your activity on our website.

  • Deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests
  • Measure ad performance
  • Reduce repetitive ads you keep seeing everywhere (yes, that’s a real thing)

“Sale,” “Sharing,” and “Targeted Advertising” Under U.S. State Privacy Laws

Some U.S. state privacy laws treat certain data practices—especially advertising-related sharing—as:

  • a “sale” of personal information,
  • “sharing” of personal information, and/or
  • “targeted advertising”

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of these activities.

How to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising

If you want to reduce or stop the sharing of information used for targeted advertising, you can take the steps below. Keep in mind: opt-out choices are usually specific to the device and browser you’re using.

1) Adjust Cookie Preferences

If our site provides a cookie banner or cookie settings option, use it to:

  • Reject non-essential cookies, or
  • Limit advertising/marketing cookies

2) Use Browser Controls

Most browsers let you:

  • Block or delete cookies
  • Limit cross-site tracking
  • Manage site permissions

Note: Blocking cookies may affect site features like saved preferences and smoother checkout.

3) Use Platform-Level Ad Controls

Many devices and platforms offer privacy controls to limit ad personalization. These options vary depending on the device you use.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out signal enabled, we will treat that signal—where required—as a request to opt out of certain activities that may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or targeted advertising.

Important details:

  • GPC typically applies to the specific browser and device sending the signal
  • If you use multiple browsers/devices, you may need to enable GPC on each one
