Cookies and Other Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files which are sent to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies act as a memory for a website, allowing that website to remember your device on your return visits. Cookies can also remember your preferences, improve the user experience as well as tailor the advertisements you see to those most relevant to you.
We may utilize “cookies,” and other similar technologies on our Sites. We may use first and/or third party “browser” or “HTTP” cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analysis, and enable our Site to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies for to personalize the user’s experience on our site, to remember a user when the user registers for products or services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our Sites.
We also may use “web beacons” (also referred to as pixel tags, clear gifs or other terms) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long a visitor remains on a particular page.
If you do not want us to deploy browser cookies to your device when you visit our Sites, you may set the browser to reject cookies or to notify the user when a web site tries to place cookies in the browser program (see below). Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use some features offered on our Sites.
Our service providers may also collect information about visitors to our Sites over time and/or across different websites when the visitor uses our Sites. This information often is aggregate data or individual information that is tied to a browser or device rather than specific identifiers such as the visitor’s name and address, but some of this information might be considered personally identifiable under some federal or state laws.
Some Internet browsers offer what often is referred to as “do not track” mechanisms for browser users to automatically signal privacy preferences to websites that they visit. Internet browsers have only begun to include these features relatively recently and there isn’t a consensus about what steps a website should take when it receives a do-not-track signal from a website visitor’s browser or what information collection or use restrictions should be applied when a do-not-track signal is received. As a result, our site does not currently respond to do-not-track-signals. However, you may exercise other choices available to you, including limiting the placement of browser cookies on your device using your browser’s cookie control features and other choices described in this Notice.
