Examples of Other Information that we may collect from you:
IP Address: Your internet protocol (“IP”) address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet service provider. This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Website. We and our third-party service providers use IP addresses for administering the Website. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.Environmental variables, such as your MAC address, computer type, screen resolution, OS version, internet browser and version are collected by most websites, and can be used to optimize your experience on the Website.
Cookies: Cookies are very small files that we send to your computer to uniquely identify your browser. Cookies allow us to collect data and other information about your use of our Services and your transactions with us. They also allow us to customize the Service so you can use it more efficiently. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. However, you can modify the settings to reject cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit by editing browser options. If you decide not to accept cookies, you may have a less satisfactory experience using our Service.
We use third party vendor re-marketing tracking cookies, including the Google Adwords tracking cookie. This means we will continue to show ads to you across the Internet, specifically on the Google Content Network (GCN). As always we respect your privacy and are not collecting any PII through the use of Google’s or any other third party re-marketing system. The third-party vendors, including Google, whose services we use, will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to our Website. This allows us to make special offers and continue to market our Services to those who have shown interest in our Services. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, and service providers. We do not have access or control over these cookies. Our partners, affiliates, and service providers use cookies to make it easier for you to use our site.
Web Beacons: Web beacons (internet or pixel tags, single-pixel, clear, invisible and 1X1 GIFs and web bugs) are tiny graphic files placed on a web page that send a signal when a user has visited that page, allowing the website to collect standard access information, such as time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. Our web beacons do not contain any PII, and we do not link web beacons to information about you.
Other Miscellaneous Information (e.g. your interests, your geographic location, etc.) is collected when you voluntarily provide such information to us. Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner that does not personally identify you. Such aggregated information is considered Other Information. Because this Other Information does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any lawful purpose. In addition, we reserve the right to share such Other Information with anyone to the extent permitted by law.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third parties. We do not currently respond to DNT signals. We do, however, provide you notice of the tracking by advertisers and other third parties in our Privacy Policy.
