- Support advertising reporting; and
- Where permitted and applicable, personalize advertising.
If Google AdSense or another advertising network is used, the relevant provider may place or access cookies and similar technologies in accordance with its own policies and applicable requirements.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense
Syndicate Journal may use Google AdSense or other advertising services to display advertisements on the Website.

The types of advertising technologies used may depend on factors including:
- Your location;
