Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies. A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) that contains information about your browser and online activity. This information often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your device.

We may also use:

• Local Storage. Local storage enables our Websites to store information locally on your device. Local storage may be used to improve your experience with our Websites, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up our Websites’ functionality.
• GIFs (a.k.a. “web beacons”). Our Websites may also employ a software technology called clear GIFs that helps us better manage content on our Websites by providing insight into which content is most effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track the online movements of Website users.
• Pixels. A tracking pixel is a 1x1 pixel graphic used for the purpose of tracking user behavior, web traffic and site conversions. Tracking pixels allow us to collect data relating to the use of our Websites. Tracking pixels may be used to trigger advertisements on any participating websites based on the activity tracked from your browser or device and can also be used for third-party web analytics.
• Other similar tracking technologies. We may also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Notice.

As noted above, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “Cookies” in this Notice.
