Use of Web Technologies

Cookies:

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. At our website, we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. We link the information we store in cookies to personally identifiable information that you submit while on the website. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.

Tracking Pixels:

We employ a software technology called tracking pixels (also known as web beacons, web bugs, or clear gifs) to better manage the content on our website by informing us of what content is effective.

We do not tie the information gathered by tracking pixels to your personally identifiable information.

We use tracking pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the "Opting Out" section of this Privacy Policy below.

As a responsible website operator, we understand the importance of transparency when it comes to the use of cookies and other web technologies. To that end, we would like to provide you with a clear and concise overview of the types of cookies we use and how we use them.
