Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We and our service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site and Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third party service providers may do so on our behalf).

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies), but such disabling will impair use of the Site and Services.

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 Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Services. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will not be able to browse certain areas of the Site or use the Services.

Third Party Analytics

We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site, App and Services. You may be able to opt-out of tracking by Google Analytics by following the directions at Google Analytics Opt-Out. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Services. We use all of these tools to help us develop and improve the experience, performance, features and functionality of our Site, App and Services and identify the types of products and services users prefer. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to track your use of our Site, App and Services.

Third-Party Links

Our Site, App and Services may contain links to third-party websites or applications (“Third-Party Applications”). Any access to and use of such Third-Party Applications is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those Third-Party Applications. You should review those policies before providing information to the Third Party Applications. We are not responsible for the information practices of such Third-Party Applications.
