Specifically, cookies from Facebook Ads, Bing Ads, Braze, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads now include 'SaleOfInfo' alongside their existing purposes (Advertising or Analytics). This indicates that data collected via these cookies may be sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes, in addition to their stated advertising and analytics functions.
