Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you enter a website or a mobile app. It enables the website or mobile app to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time.
To learn more about cookies and other technologies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set.
In particular, we may collect information automatically:
Using pixel tags and other similar technologies. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with some Services to, among other things, track the actions of users of the Services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.
Using Google Analytics. With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a Google service that uses cookies and other, similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and website trends. You can learn about Google’s practices in connection with this enhanced tracking and opt-out of it by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cookie management: You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Website.
You can use the methods described below to manage cookies. You must take these steps on each browser or device that you use. If you replace, change or upgrade your browser or device, or delete your cookies, you may need to use these opt-out tools again.

Some web browsers have “Do Not Track” or similar features that allow visitors to tell each website they visit that they do not want their activities on that website tracked. There is no uniform standard for implementing and recognizing “Do Not Track” signals. For that reason, at present, our Websites do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) allows individuals to automatically signal their privacy preferences to websites and other online services through their browser or through an extension. If we receive a GPC signal to opt-out of website tracking, we will honor such requests.
Selling and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. However, our use of certain website tracking-technologies may meet the definition of “selling” or “sharing” as that term is defined by applicable law. Residents of certain states may be eligible to opt-out of this information use. Please see the California and other state privacy law sections of this Notice for more information. We have no actual knowledge that we sell or share the Personal Information of anyone under the age of 18.
