  1. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We and our service providers use Internet server logs, cookies, tags, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather information through other methods. Here is an overview of some of the technologies we use:

  • A web server log, which is a file where online activity is stored.

 

  • A cookie, which is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit certain websites and applications that are designed to: (i) recognize your computer or device; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand the pages of the Services you have visited; (iv) enhance your user experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; (v) perform searches and analytics; and (vi) assist with security and administrative functions.

Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; or Apple Safari).

  1. ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
  2. Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.

If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

  1. Online Advertising

The Services may integrate third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on the Services, as well as on other websites you visit and other applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors, such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide, your searches, demographic data, User Content, and other information we collect about you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.

Third parties may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you as discussed above. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers) to serve tailored ads to you on other websites and in other applications, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We sometimes provide our User information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies or other identifiers, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other services.

We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device you use to access the Services by such non-affiliated third parties.
