Information Collected Automatically

Whenever you interact with our Site, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, web beacons, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Site, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Site are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. A “web beacon” is an object that is embedded in a page or email and is usually invisible to the user but allows checking whether a user has viewed the page or email.

We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Site as such data can provide us with how often users use a particular feature of the Site, and Company can use that knowledge to make the Site interesting to as many users as possible

If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and Company shall not be responsible for third parties’ privacy policies and practices. Company does not access or control these third-party cookies or web beacons; however, we may have access to data generated from their use, such as when we view analytics reports provided by such third-party tools and services. Please note that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Site, and those third parties may not honor the “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.
