Cookies and Similar Technologies

What are first and third-party cookies? A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” cookie). “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your device and remain there until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Persistent” cookies remain stored on your device until they expire or are deleted by you. Local shared objects (or “flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than that website.

What are “similar technologies”? In addition to cookies, there are other data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons, pixels (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as you navigate through and interact with a website. For example, web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. UTM codes are strings that can appear in a URL when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about your browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent you to the receiving website.

What cookies and similar technologies are in use on the Site? The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve Site functionality, to measure and track how you interact with the Site, to perform analytics, to market to you, to track ad-driven activity, and to otherwise tailor our communications with you. For example:

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and to better understand how they find and use the Site. The data collected includes data related to your device/browser, your IP address, and on-site activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions. The information stored is reduced to a random identifier. Any data collected is used in accordance with this Policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may learn more about Google Analytics by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245. You can learn more about Google’s restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. To opt-out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install the opt-out browser add-on feature. For more details, visit the “Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on” page located at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en.

Google Tag Manager. We use Google Tag Manager, which allows marketed website tags to be managed using an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) does not use cookies and does not register identifiable data. The tool causes other tags to be activated which may, for their part, register personal data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this information.  Google Tag Manager is subject to the Google Privacy Policy located at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.

Google Marketing (e.g. Google Custom Search Ads, DoubleClick, Google Adsense). We use certain Google marketing technologies to track user activity on the Site and to serve personalized advertisements. Your browser is assigned a pseudonymous ID used to track the ads that have been served to your browser and to identify those on which you’ve clicked. The cookies enable Google and its partners to select and display ads based on your browsing behavior. For more information on how Google uses this information, you can visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads, https://support.google.com/displayvideo/answer/7621162, and https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7548399?hl=en. To block certain ads served by Google, please visit https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922. Google’s Privacy Policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Facebook Connect. Facebook Connect gives you the option to post information about your activities to your Facebook profile page to share with others within your network by using a single sign-in service to authenticate your identity. You may learn more about Facebook’s policies by visiting https://www.facebook.com/policy.php, and you can also find instructions for opting out of receiving advertisements via that page.

Twitter. We use Twitter Button and Twitter Syndication on the Site. As a result, pages make requests to Twitter’s servers for you to be able to tweet our webpages using your Twitter account. These requests may make your IP address, browser type, operating system, hardware type, internet service provider, pages visited, location, mobile carrier, and device information (including device and application IDs) visible to Twitter, who may use it in accordance with their data privacy policy. Twitter’s privacy policy is available at: https://twitter.com/en/privacy.

Other third-party technologies. Some third parties may use data collection technologies to collect information about you when you browse the Internet. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.

Choices about cookies and similar technologies. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being stored. These settings may affect your enjoyment of the Site’s functionality. Adjusting the cookie settings may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created.
