7. COOKIES, OTHER TRACKING DEVICES, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

A cookie is a small piece of data sent from the Sites and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing Sites (“Cookie”). Every time the user loads Sites, the browser sends the Cookie back to the server to notify the Sites of the user’s previous activity. Web beacons (also known as image tags, gifs, or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses (“Web Beacons”). We also utilize pixels in connection with our email communications and in connection with the Sites. Our Sites’ web servers automatically collect and may use your Cookies, Web Beacons, pixels, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively “Tracking Technologies”) to collect information as you browse our Sites. We use Tracking Technologies, web server log files and tracking code, and information we receive through the use of these Tracking Technologies to analyze trends, administer the Sites, track users’ movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Information of this type may be combined with other sources of information for these purposes.

Some of these Tracking Technologies may be placed by third-party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Tracking Technologies may be used by these service providers to place a persistent Cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. The use of Tracking Technologies by third-party service providers is within their control and not ours. We do not control their sites or their policies and practices regarding your information and you should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use, or disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their advertisements or promotions and other sites you encounter on the Internet. This Policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party service provider may directly collect from you and we do not undertake to confirm, investigate, or police their practices.

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept Cookies. However, they are an important part of how our Services work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove Cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services. You may reject Cookies, Web Beacons, and entity tags by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser. Each browser is different, but many browsers have preferences or options that may be adjusted to allow you to either accept or reject Cookies and certain other technologies before they are set or installed, or to allow you to remove or reject the use or installation of certain technologies altogether. If you want to learn the correct way to modify your browser settings, please use the Help menu in your browser or review the instructions provided by the following browsers: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari Desktop, Safari Mobile; and Android browser.
