Browsing

The Website may collect certain information when you browse the Website and request pages from our servers. When you request a page from our Website, our servers log the information provided in the HTTP request header including the IP address, the time of the request, the URL of your request and other information that is provided in the HTTP header. We collect the HTTP request header information in order to make our website function correctly and provide you the functionality that you see on the Website. We also use this and other information to personalize content presented to you on the Website, better understand how visitors use our Website and how we can better tune their content and functionality to meet your needs. Although this information may at times include your IP address, this information, by itself, will typically not identify you. However, if you access the Website from a link in an email that we sent you, we may identify you based on the information you previously supplied to us.

Cookies

We may use “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about your activities. This is so that we can customize certain aspects of your specific experience and improve the overall function and efficiency of our Sites and Services. Cookies are small data text files stored locally on your computer that uniquely identify your browser. We may use cookies – for example, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Facebook Connect, and others – to perform various tasks such as: monitoring aggregate usage metrics, storing and remembering your login information (if you choose this option), storing your account preferences, and personalizing the Services we make available to you.

Session and First Party Cookies

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “first party” cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your Internet browser. First Party cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them or until they are otherwise removed upon expiration.

We may gather information about you automatically through your use of the Website, e.g., your IP address and how you navigate the Website. We may collect information by automated means, including technologies such as pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs, and web beacons.

Pixel Tags

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages.

We may record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.

For example, we use the information we collect about all website users to optimize our Website and to understand website traffic patterns. We may aggregate the data about visitors to our Website and use it to improve the quality of our Website.
