| > | cycling). We then show their ad to people who we think might be interested. /$ $ | ||||
| > | We also provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to | ||||
| > | help them understand how people are interacting with their content on and off Me | ||||
| > | ta Products. For example, we provide general demographic and interest informatio | ||||
