On our Site, this information is collected using cookies. We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies.

We may also use browser web storage, web beacons, tracking technologies (such as mobile advertising IDs and tags), and similar technologies, and our emails may also contain web beacons to determine whether users open or act on our communications. These technologies are small data files that we transfer to your browser or device that allows us to provide and enhance our Services. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of these technologies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
In addition, we may use analytics Service Providers, including Google Analytics, to collect information regarding your visits to our Services, such as your behavior on our Services, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and length of access. For more information about Google Analytics, see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
