Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We and our service providers use cookies and
other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or
Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we
collect from you (and our service providers may do so on our behalf).
Cookies.
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard
drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow
us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others
are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your
activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and
persistent cookies.
- Session Cookies. Session
cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your
device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session
cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or
while you are logged into the Site and Services. This allows us to process
your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you
have logged in, as you move through our Site and Services.
- Persistent Cookies. Persistent
cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned
off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and
statistical information about user activity.
Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you
prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help
portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your
computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when
you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our
Site and Services who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of
the Site, but some features may not function.
Third Party Analytics.
We use automated devices and applications,
such as Facebook or Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also
may use other analytic means to evaluate our Site. We use these tools to help
us improve our Site’s performance and user experiences. These entities
may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local
storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s
privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy at
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You can also download the Google
Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent their data from being used by
Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cross-Device Use.
We and our service providers, including
Google, may use the information that we collect about you (whether directly
from our Site, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and
our service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile
phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We and our service providers also may use
the cross-device use and other information we learn about you to serve targeted
advertising on your devices and to send you emails. To opt-out of cross-device
advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the Third Party Ad
Networks section below. Please note: if you opt-out of these targeted
advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser, app, or device
from which you accessed the opt-out. If you use multiple devices or web
browsers, you will need to opt-out each browser or device that you use.
Do-Not-Track.
Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You
may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by
disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following
the instructions in the Third-Party Ad Network section.
Third-Party Ad Networks
We use third parties such as network advertisers
to serve advertisements on our Site and on third-party websites or other media
(e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these third parties to
target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be
interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or
traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons
(including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure
the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.
These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third
party's specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party
advertisers with information, including personal information, about you.
Users in the United States may opt out of many
third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising
Alliance ("DAA") Consumer Choice Page for information
about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding
having information used by DAA
companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative
("NAI") Consumer Opt-Out Page for information
about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding
having information used by NAI members.
Opting out from one or more companies listed
on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer
Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies' delivery of
interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer
receive any advertising through our Site, Services, or on other websites. You
may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular
website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your
browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI
websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is
available on the DAA's website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI's website
at www.networkadvertising.org.
