Cookies and other Web Browser Technologies.
Like most websites, we may employ “cookies” or similar web browser technologies on certain pages to enhance your experience on the Website, and to passively track how the Website is being used. Cookies are small data files, typically used to save your actions and preferences, that are stored on your computer’s hard drive (if your Web browser permits) and provide you with a better user experience. Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the website you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. If using a mobile device, we may collect information about your mobile device, such as the unique device identifier.
We also use cookies to identify and prevent fraudulent activity. These cookies do not provide us with any information related to your identity. The information collected can include, but is not limited to, your IP address, referral URLs, the type of device you use, your operating system, the type of browser you use, geographic location, and other session data. We may use information collected with cookies to statistically analyze usage of our Website, and to improve and customize our content and other offerings. Cookies are not permanent and will expire after a short time period of inactivity.

We use Google Analytics to carry out statistical analysis of page use, page interactions, and paths through the website to evaluate and develop our Website. This is known as ‘digital analytics.’ We collect information such as: age, gender, geography, technology, mobile, interests, and acquisition (from which channels you discovered our Website). This information allows us to understand individual behaviors and needs more accurately.

Cookie-based exchanges.
Cookie-based exchanges collect anonymous information about your browsing behavior through cookies and other technologies, and then segment such information into different topics of interest. These topics of interest are then shared with third parties, including advertisers and ad networks, so they can tailor advertisements to your apparent interests.
We do not participate in cookie-based exchanges; we do not share PII (such as your email address) with these companies; and we do not permit these companies to collect any such information about you on the Website.
How to control cookies.
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site, and some services and functionalities may not work.
External links.
If any part of the Website links you to other sites, those sites do not operate under this Cookie Policy. We recommend you examine the privacy and cookie statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing PII.
Children’s privacy.
The Website is for a general audience and does not offer services directed to children. Should a child whom we know to be under 18 send PII to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform the child that we must have parental consent before receiving the child’s PII.

If you are visiting the Website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States, where our servers are located. This may involve transfer of information about you out of your country of origin. By using the Website, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and disclosed as described in this Cookie Policy and consent to such transfer and processing of your data.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may occasionally amend this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we do, you will be notified when you first visit the Website after the change. We will notify you of material changes prior to implementing them by posting a revised Cookie Policy with a new “Last Updated” date.
