TRACKING TOOLS WE USE

We use the following methods to automatically collect information from visitors to our Sites:

Cookies. Cookies are small data files that download onto your computer or other device when you visit the Site or otherwise access our online content on certain websites. Cookies may be used for many purposes. We use both session cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your computer after the browser has been closed).

To learn more, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

Web Beacons. Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “pixel tags,” “1x1 GIFs,” or “clear GIFs” may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web beacon. Web beacons and similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Sites, to monitor how users navigate the Sites, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular links were actually viewed.

Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Sites, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our server or a third-party service provider, is only active while you are connected to one of the Sites, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

Session Replay Technology. We may record your interactions with the Sites’ user interfaces, including, what pages you visit on our Sites and how long you visit those pages, the links you click, and your path through our Sites. We capture this for website analytics purposes, solely for our internal business purposes, to improve the Sites and our products and services as well as to address functionality issues.

WE USE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

We may use the information collected automatically through the Sites in order to:

  • track visitors to our websites;
  • recognize past visitors and customers and remember preferences;
  • store your password if you are registered on our site;
  • integrate with third party social media websites;
  • facilitate your purchases;
  • serve you with advertising content in which we think you will be interested (see below for more information);
  • understand the effectiveness of our advertisements and conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you;
  • prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times;
  • combine information we have collected about you from multiple sources;
  • better understand our audience, our customers, our website visitors, and their respective interests.

WE ENGAGE IN INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING.

We and our partners display interest-based advertising using information gathered about you over time across multiple websites or other platforms (including websites and apps). Third parties, including advertising and analytics companies, set their own cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Sites. We and third parties might link information automatically through cookies and other tracking technologies to your name or email address or other information, including past purchases made offline or online.

Interest-based advertising or “online behavioral advertising” includes ads served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include ads we think are relevant based on your browsing habits or online activities. These ads might be served on third-party websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.

YOU CAN OPT-OUT OF ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING.

You can visit

http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information about targeting advertising and the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. You may also visit http://optout.aboutads.info, which provides information about targeted advertising and offers an “opt-out” by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program.
