- Cookies, Anonymous Identifiers, Web Beacons, and Other Internet Tracking Technology
We utilize cookies, anonymous identifiers, web beacons (as each is described further below), and other Internet tracking technology to collect information from your computer, mobile, or other device.
- A “cookie” is a data file that is created and stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit our Service(s). An “anonymous identifier” is a random string of characters that is used for similar reasons as cookies.
- We use cookies and anonymous identifiers to become more familiar with users through the study of analytics. Some portions of this Service(s) require the use of cookies for proper function. Anonymous identifiers can be used where cookie technology is not available. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your web browser. If you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Service(s). Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, we will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Service(s).
- A “web beacon” is an object embedded into a web page or an e-mail that collects various data. A web beacon is known by several common terms, such as a web bug, tag, page tag, tracking bug, tracking pixel, pixel tag, web pixel, targeting pixel, re-targeting pixel, and clear gif. A web beacon functions similarly to a cookie and can allow us to learn more about a user’s behaviors, actions, and preferences. When used within e-mail, for example, a web beacon can track whether a user opens a message, clicks on a link within the e-mail, and similar actions. We also use other, similar Internet tracking technology to monitor a user’s actions coming to our Service(s), moving through our Service(s), and after leaving our Service(s).
