Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE

COOKIES AND ACTION TAGS

We also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information passively using “cookies” and “action tags.” “Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device in order to identify

  1. your Web browser,

  2. the activities of your computer on our Website and

  3. your activity in connection with our advertisements and other marketing and promotional efforts. Cookies may be used to: personalize your experience on our Website (e.g., to dynamically generate content on webpages specifically designed for you); assist you in using our Website and its features (e.g., to save you time by not having to reenter your name upon each visit to our Website); and allow us to statistically monitor how you are using our Website for purposes of improving our online offerings.We also may use cookies to conduct marketing and promotional efforts, tailor certain advertisements to your browser that we think may be of interest to you, or to determine the popularity of certain content. We may link the information stored in cookies to Personally Identifiable Information you provide us, and to personalize your Website experience we may store Personally Identifiable Information you provide us in an encrypted form in temporary or “session” cookies, which are erased when you close your browser.Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, you may reset your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies generally. Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the “Help” section of the toolbar.“Action tags,” or “Web Beacons,” also known as GIF tags, are a web technology used to help track anonymous website usage information, such as how many times a specific page has been viewed. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our Services by informing us what content is effective, count users of the Services, monitor how users navigate the Services, count how many e-mails that we send were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. We do not tie the information gathered by web beacons to our customers’ personal information. Action tags are invisible to you, and any portion of our Website, including advertisements, or e-mail sent on our behalf, may contain action tags. Unlike cookies, action tags are not placed on your computer.For example, third-party ad servers may track anonymous website usage through action tags on our Website and other websites. They do this by setting a cookie (or reading a cookie previously placed by them) on users’ computers to track the activities of users who view a web page that contains action tags. Such third-party ad servers may use information about your visits to this Website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.Similarly, we use Google Analytics to help us track and analyze usage of our Website, using cookies and action tags. All data collected by Google Analytics on our behalf is owned by us and used to better understand our users and improve our Website. More information can be found in Google Analytics Privacy Policy.By using cookies and action tags together, we are able to gain valuable information to improve our Website and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns. We do not disclose any of your Personally Identifiable Information to our advertising partners through the use of cookies or action tags.

SOCIAL MEDIA (FEATURES) AND WIDGETS

Our Website includes social media features, buttons and widgets provided by third party social media platforms such as Facebook, You Tube and Twitter (collectively, the “Features”). A Feature may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. This cookie may allow the social media platform to link the foregoing data with your user profile. The Features are either hosted by the third party platform or directly on our Website. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the relevant platform.
