  • Interstitial Ads: Full-screen ads shown at natural transition points (limited to maximum 1 per 10 minutes)

4.2 Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads

When you first open the app, you will be asked to choose between:

  • Personalized Ads: Ads tailored to your interests based on your advertising ID and browsing behavior across apps and websites.
  • Non-Personalized Ads: Generic ads that are not based on your personal data.

You can change this preference at any time in the app's Settings.

4.3 Third-Party Ad Services
