Description of Cookies and Related Technologies
We (and third party partners or vendors) may use technologies that communicate Information from your Internet browser to a web server. Such technologies may be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the information, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the information was viewed. We, and certain third parties that we engage to provide services may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or similar technologies to perform this activity. They may also obtain information about applications you use, websites you visit, and other information from across your devices and browsers in order to help serve advertising that may be more relevant to your interests on and off our Sites and across your devices and browsers.
Cookies can either be persistent (i.e., they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close your browser). Check your browser settings to learn how to delete cookies. You can configure your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, unless you accept cookies, your access to the site may be limited and certain functions of a Site may be inoperable.
Like other sites, we also gather some Information automatically and store it in log files. This Information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We treat Information collected by cookies and these other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we may also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Some of our Sites may use locally stored objects to provide certain content. Adobe’s Flash player and similar applications use this technology to remember settings, preferences, and usage similar to browser cookies. Flash cookies are not managed through your web browser, but you can access Flash management tools from Adobe’s website. Your browser may also offer other tools to delete or reject other locally stored objects.
