Third-Party Links

For your convenience, the Site may include or link to third-party offers, products, services, websites, or pages.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or pages outside our control. A link does not mean that we endorse the website, page, service, product, or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.

Any information, communications, or materials you submit through the Site or through our pages on social media platforms—including by email, posting, messaging, uploading, or downloading—is submitted at your own risk.

  1. DIGITAL ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS

We may work with advertising networks and other advertising providers that serve advertisements on our behalf and on behalf of others on unaffiliated platforms.

Some advertisements may be personalized based on information advertising providers collect about your use of the Site and other websites or applications over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This is commonly called interest-based or targeted advertising.

Darin DuPont For Senate 2026 adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with interest-based advertising activities.

You may visit the Digital Advertising Alliance WebChoices tool at https://www.aboutads.info to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt out of website advertising from participating companies.

If you delete cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, you may need to renew your opt-out selections. Opting out will not prevent advertisements from appearing in your browser or applications, but it may make those advertisements less relevant to your interests.

We may also work with third parties that collect information about your use of the Site and other websites or applications over time for non-advertising purposes.

The Site may use Google Analytics and other third-party services to analyze how visitors use the Site, improve its performance, and support analytics and marketing activities.

Please follow the directions provided with each promotion to learn its terms, identify any participating business partners and benefits, and opt in.

If you participate and are eligible, we may request information such as your name, email address, date of birth, and telephone number.
