The technologies we use for automatic information collection on the Site include cookies. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your browser when you visit a website. When you visit the Site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences, and other information, such as what pages you visit, your IP address, or how you arrived on the website. Cookie information allows us to enable certain functions of the Site, to store your preferences and settings, and to analyze your use of the Site and improve your experience. Ultimately, a cookie allows us or a third party to recognize you and make the Site more useful to you. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. You can refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site, and overall functionality of the Site may be impaired. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system may issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Site.

Pages of our Site and our emails may also contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

We also utilize third-party analytics providers to help us market, troubleshoot, and provide information about our products and services. We use analytics tools provided by third parties including, but not limited to, Google Analytics, which is a third-party service that transmits user behavior and traffic data to Google services in the United States. We use the reports provided by Google and similar service providers to help us understand trends and other activity on the Site and to help us improve the Site. We only use this information to identify trends and potential issues; we do not use it in a way that individually identifies any of our users. For more information regarding Google and how it collects and processes your information, please see “How Google Uses Information From Sites or Apps That Use Our Services,” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
