TECHNOLOGIES USED

Cookies, Web Beacons, Mobile Device Identifiers, SDKs, and HTML5 Storage

We use technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, mobile device identifiers, SDKs and HTML5 storage to customize your browsing experience, perform statistical analyses on Services usage, to better understand how you use the Services, to learn how we can improve the Services, to assist with our marketing/advertising efforts, and to help process transactions.

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your web browser when you visit a website. You can view and delete existing cookies through your browser. If you choose, you can configure your browser to notify you when a new cookie is received, stop accepting new cookies, or disable cookies altogether.

Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Mobile device identifiers, or mobile device IDs are a unique identifier which can be used to identify a mobile device. They can usually only be accessed via an app and not from the mobile web.

A mobile software development kit (“SDK”) is the mobile application version of a beacon. The SDK is a bit of computer code that applications can include to enable ads to be shown, data to be collected, and services to be implemented.

In addition to these technologies, we also use device fingerprints and locally shared objects, such as Flash cookies, to store content information and preferences. We may provide certain features on our website or display advertising based upon your use of the Services and use HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5. To help manage Flash cookies, you may click here.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DISABLE COOKIES, MOBILE DEVICE IDENTIFIERS, OR GEOLOCATION SERVICES, YOUR ABILITY TO USE SOME AREAS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICES MAY BE LIMITED.

ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS SERVICES

 We may collect data about your website or application activity to deliver more relevant advertising to you based upon preferences or interests inferred from your browsing activity. This process is known as interest-based advertising, targeted ads, or behavioral advertising.

We use Google Analytics and Google Analytics Advertising Features (collectively “Google Services”) to gather information about how users engage with our Services.

For more information on how Google uses data collected when you use the Services, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to the hyperlink to download a currently available opt-outs for browser add-on.

Our Website also uses Facebook Custom Audiences to deliver advertisements to Website visitors on Facebook based upon account registration that we have collected. To learn more and to view your Facebook ad preferences, click here.

PRIVACY PREFERENCES

As mentioned above, you may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or remove them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences. Cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However on many mobile devices, application users may opt out of certain mobile ads via their device settings.

The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from companies that participate in industry self-regulation. You can access these websites, and learn more about interest-based advertising, at www.aboutads.info/choices and at www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Please note that you must separately opt out on each device you use. Opting-out will only prevent interest-based or targeted ads, and you will continue to see generic advertisements after you opt-out.

RETENTION OF INFORMATION

 We retain information collected through this website in accordance with applicable record retention policies, disposal schedules, and state law. Where no retention policy, disposal schedule, or state law applies, we may retain information for any period of time or not at all.
