Cookies and Other Web Technologies.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as tags, scripts, and beacons, are small pieces of code (referred to as cookies hereafter) that are stored on a device (computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc) and enable a website can “personalize” itself to users by remembering information about the user’s visit to the website. We also use cookies within emails we may send.
Cookies are used to collect information, where available, about your device, your IP address, operating system and browser type, and how you have interacted with our websites.
While cookies are used to identify users and devices, they only ever collect non-personal information such as IP addresses, device IDs. If the data cookies collected are ever merged with any other information with which you have provided us, such as email addresses, these are anonymized in such a way that identification with actual people is impossible.
Why do we use them?
Our Website, its affiliated websites, and Apps use cookies for the following general purposes:
- To help us recognize your browser as a previous visitor and save and remember any preferences that may have been set while your browser was visiting our site. For example, if you register on our site, we may use cookies to remember your registration information, so you do not need to log into our site each time you visit. We also may record your password in a cookie, if you checked the box entitled “Save this password for automatic sign-in.” Please note that member IDs, passwords, and any other account-related data included in such cookies are encrypted for security purposes.
- To help us customize the content, experience, and advertisements provided to you on our websites and Apps and on other websites across the Internet. For example, when you access a web page, a cookie is automatically set by us, our service providers, or our partners to recognize your browser as you navigate on the Internet and to present you with information and advertising based on your apparent interests.
