HOW WE USE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
To help operate the Website, the Applications and Services, enhance your user experience, and collect information about online activity, we may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be in the form of cookies, pixel tags, local shared objects, or other similar technologies. Cookies and similar technologies enable us to personalize the Website, the Applications and the Services for you. These technologies allow us to store and manage your preferences and settings, measure and analyze how you use the Website, the Applications and the Services, the effectiveness of our communications, offer targeted products, programs and services, and help us improve the Services and the security of the Services. Information collected includes internet protocol address, operating system, browser specifics of your device, device characteristics, user ID, and specifics regarding your interactions with the Website, the Applications and the Services.
Most browsers provide you with the ability to block, delete, or disable these technologies. If you choose to reject cookies or similar technologies, some Services may not be available or some functionality may be limited or unavailable. Please review your browser manufacturer’s help pages for assistance with changing your settings. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your device’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on the Website or Application pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with the Website and the Applications to, among other things, track the activities of the Website visitors and the Application users, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of the Website and the Applications. We and our third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
We may use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on third-party websites, applications, or other communications media including 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 advertisements 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 Privacy Policy. 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 visit 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 visit 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 the Website, the Applications or on other websites or applications. 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.
Our systems may 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 above.
