Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies
We may use “cookies” and other data collection technologies to collect certain information about you on the Site. Cookies are small data files that are sent to a web browser and stored on a device. Cookies are commonly used by website operators to store information about website visitors and allow website operators to authenticate visitors, recognize visitors, save visitors’ preferences, and analyze the use of a website. We may partner with certain third parties to collect and analyze information about your use of the Site through cookies and other data collection technologies. This information helps us troubleshoot malfunctions and improve accessibility and usability of certain features of the Site.
We are not in the business of selling the information we collect about you to others and we do not provide information about you to others in exchange for monetary compensation. However, certain U.S. state laws define “sale” as disclosing or making available Personal Data to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available Personal Data to a third party for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising.
While we do not disclose Personal Data to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, our use of third-party analytics and advertising cookies may be considered “selling” and “sharing” in certain jurisdictions. Based on these definitions, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of Personal Data: identifiers; commercial information; location information; Internet and network activity information, and sensitive personal data (e.g., your Internet and network activity information when you visit some of our Sites).
We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns.
