Website owners use cookies to make their websites work more efficiently and provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies," while those set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties on the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when it visits the website in question or other related websites.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, LIKE WEB BEACONS?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies, such as web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These tiny graphics files contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email containing them. These technologies help us monitor traffic patterns, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand the source of website visits, improve site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functioning.

DO YOU USE FLASH COOKIES OR LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS?

Websites may use "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and other site operations.

To prevent Flash Cookies from being stored on your computer, you can adjust your Flash player settings using the tools in the Website Storage Settings Panel. The Global Storage Settings Panel also allows you to control Flash Cookies, including deleting existing ones, preventing their placement without your permission, and blocking Flash Cookies not delivered by the operator of the page you are currently on. Keep in mind that restricting or limiting Flash Cookies may affect the functionality of some Flash applications associated with our services or online content.

DO YOU SERVE TARGETED ADVERTISING?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to display advertising through our website. These companies use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements for goods and services you may be interested in. They may employ technologies such as cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits across sites and deliver targeted ads. The information collected does not directly identify you unless you provide it.
