When you use our Website, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as cookies, pixel tags, server or device logs and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “pixel tag” (also known as a web beacon), which is a type of technology that is often used in combination with cookies, is placed on a website to track certain activity, such as views of a website. These technologies help us (1) track and understand how you use and interact with the Website and (2) measure the usability of the Website.

We may use these automated technologies on the Website to collect information about your device, browsing actions, and usage patterns. We obtain information about your device and web browser in this manner such as your device IP address, unique device identifiers, device type and model, device characteristics and settings, browser settings and characteristics, operating system type and version, location, battery and signal strength, usage statistics, referring emails and web addresses, and other application details. We also may obtain information about your interactions with our Website, such as pages visited, links clicked, features used, dates and times of usage, session information, and other information about your use of our Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without these technologies, you may not be able to use all of the features of the Website. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.
