^{Use of Cookies and other Web Technologies}

^{Like many websites, We use automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links, and web beacons. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website. Examples include your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website. We automatically receive and record information on our server logs from Your browser including IP addresses, cookie information, browsing history and Our website pages requested. We only use this data in aggregate form, for statistical purposes, and not in a manner that would give Us sufficient information to identify You personally. This type of aggregate data enables Us to figure out how often users access parts of Our website, what types of Services they are interested in, where they are generally located and what are their general online behavior patterns. We utilize this information so that we can improve Our website and the Services. This information may be shared with advertisers and other third parties on an aggregated basis, but it does not include the Personal Information of individual Users.}

 

 

^{They may also collect information about:}

•  ^{Your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This is a number automatically assigned to Your computer or device whenever You connect to the Internet. Among other things, the IP address allows web servers to locate and identify Your device for the purpose of facilitating online communications between You and other parties you engage with on the Internet.}
•  ^{Clickstream behavior. This includes, for example, the pages You view and the links you click. These tools help make your visit to Our website easier, more efficient, and more valuable by providing You with a customized experience and recognizing You when You return.}

^{Our website includes widgets. Widgets are interactive mini-programs that run on Our site to provide specific services from other companies. Information collected by a widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created the widget.}

^{Some web browsers may give You the ability to enable a "do not track" feature that sends signals to the websites You visit, indicating that You do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a "do not track" feature enabled may still accept cookies.}

^{No industry standard currently exists on how companies should respond to "do not track" signals, although one may develop in the future. Our websites functionality is not currently able to recognize and respond to "do not track" signals. If We do in the future, We will describe how in this Privacy Statement.}

^{We partner with third parties to display advertising on our website or to manage Our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide You with Our advertising based on Your browsing activities and interests.}

^{As part of these efforts to improve your online experience, We use a service provided by both Google and Facebook called "retargeting” or "remarketing". This permits Us to reach people who have previously visited our site, and show them relevant advertisements when they visit other sites across the Internet in the Google Display Network and Facebook Ads platform.}

 

^{You may be able to opt out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager, and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.}

^{Linked Websites}

^{By using Our websites, Services, or otherwise providing Personal Information to Us, You agree that We may communicate with You electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to Your use. For example, if We learn of a security system breach, We may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on Our websites, by sending an email, or otherwise contacting You.}

^{Children's Privacy}

^{We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If You believe that we may have collected Personal Information from someone under the applicable age of consent in Your country without proper consent, please let Us know using the methods described in the ‘Contact Us’ section of this Privacy Statement and We will take appropriate measures to investigate and address the issue promptly.}

 

^{Your Privacy Rights}

^{If You are a California resident and use Our Services, You are entitled to request certain information regarding our disclosure of certain ‘personal information’ (as defined in California Civil Code Section 1798.83) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.}
