Cookies and other tracking mechanisms

We may use cookies, beacons and similar technologies, now or in the future, to support the functionality or track the use of our Services. This provides a better experience when you use our Services and allows us to improve them.

Browser cookies

A browser cookie is a small file placed on your computer's hard drive. This cookie then communicates with servers, either ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us, and allows your device to be recognized. You can use the tools available on your computer or other device to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some of the browser's cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you refuse or disable all browser cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of our websites or use certain browser features or our Services.

Web beacons

Our Services may contain small electronic files called Web beacons (also known as clear GIFs, pixel tags, tracking pixels and single-pixel GIFs) that allow us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other Web site statistics. Web beacons in e-mail marketing campaigns, press releases or other types of communications or content allow us to track your responses and interests in our content, offerings and web pages. We may use web beacons and/or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you interact with our Services, emails, press releases or other types of communication or content, including information about your browsing and purchasing behavior.

Analysis services

We or our affiliates also use web analytics services, which currently include, but are not limited to, Google Analytics.

These web analytics services use cookies and similar technologies to analyze how users use domains. The information generated about domain usage (including your abbreviated IP address) is transmitted to the web analytics services. This information is used to evaluate visitors' use of the domain, compile statistical reports on domain activity, and provide other services related to the site and Internet usage. These services may also collect information about the use of other websites by visitors to the domain.

For more information about Google Analytics or to opt out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The "Do Not Track" (DNT)

Some Internet browsers support a built-in "Do Not Track" feature, which is designed to indicate to websites that you do not wish to "be tracked" on the various sites you visit.

Our services do not currently change the way they operate based on the detection of a "Do Not Track" or similar signal. However, you can disable certain tracking, as described in the "Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms" section above (e.g., by turning off cookies).

You may also opt out of certain behavioral advertising by following the instructions in the "Your Choices" section below.

Please note that some emails may be necessary for the operation of our services. However, you may continue to receive these emails related to your account or our Services, if any, even if you unsubscribe from our optional communications.
