About Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that transfer onto your device’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. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
- Session Cookies: These exist only during an online visit. They disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session, which allows us to process your online transactions and verify your identity after you have logged in.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
Analytics, Ad Networks, and Tracking
Third-Party Analytics: We use automated devices and applications, such as Facebook or Google Analytics, to evaluate the usage of our site. We use these tools to help us improve our site’s performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy.
Cross-Device Use: We and our service providers may use information we collect to help identify other devices you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, etc.) to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails.
Do-Not-Track: Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. However, you may disable certain tracking by disabling cookies in your browser settings.
Third-Party Ad Networks: We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our site and on third-party websites. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party's specific privacy policy, not ours.
