Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Sites, Apps and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Sites and Apps are categorized as follows:
Category 1 – Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to enable you to browse around our Sites and use their features. Without these cookies, certain Services cannot be provided.
Category 2 – Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use our Sites– for instance, which pages you go to most. This data may be used to help optimize our Sites and make them easier for you to navigate. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you. Any information collected through these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Category 3 – Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our Sites to remember choices you make while browsing. For instance, we may store your geographic location in a cookie to ensure that we show you our Site localized for your area. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you, and cannot track your browsing activity on websites other than our Sites.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies
Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Sites and Apps to, among other things, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We and our third party service providers use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
Local Storage
We may use local storage technologies, such as HTML5 or Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of HTML5 or HhhHHHHHHLWFlash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on HTML5 and Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for HTML5 and Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions.
Third-party Analytics
We use third party analytics tools, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics and ClickDimensions, to collect, monitor and analyze this information in order to improve functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Services to our visitors’ needs. Accordingly, usage data is shared with Google and ClickDimensions, or other third parties, each of which have their own privacy policy addressing how they handle such information and any choices you may have about their collection and use of information. We recommend that you review these privacy policies.
Targeted Advertising and Ad Networks
We may send Users targeted ads, based on their location and activities on our Sites and in the Apps. We may also participate in third-party ad networks (including but not limited to Google Ads and Facebook Ads) and allow third parties to use cookies, pixel tags and other tracking technologies on the Sites and Apps to collect usage information and display targeted ads; these third parties may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources.
We use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Sites and Apps, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party sites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Sites and Apps as well as other websites and apps. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements by displaying ads for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about your usage of our Sites, Apps, and Services.
How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can control and/or delete several types of cookies – for details, please see www.aboutcookies.org.
For example, you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. Doing so, however, may result in you having to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit our Sites, and some services and functionalities may not work.
Do-Not-Track
Our Sites do not honor browser do-not-track requests. However, you can find information on how to opt out of many website participating ad networks at the following sites: Network Advertising Initiative, and Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that opting out does not prevent all targeted ads from being displayed to you. Also, if you delete cookies after opting out, your opt out may no longer be effective.
Mobile App Users
If you download or use any of our Apps, and you agree to share your location information with us and receive push notifications from us, we will use your location information to send you customized notices, offers, and coupons. You can later opt out of push notifications or of sharing your location information. If you use an Apple iOS device, you can disable push notifications by turning them off for App you are using within the “Notifications Center” under the “Settings” menu; you may disable location information for an App by going to “Settings,” “Privacy,” and then “Location Services,” and turning off sharing for the particular App. For Android users, you can turn off these notifications through the Menu settings within our App.
User Generated Content
Any content you post to our Sites, Apps or social networking pages (“User Generated Content”), may be available to all Users, and we cannot prevent such content from being used in a manner that violates this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.
