Cookies, Log Files and Similar Technologies

As mentioned above, we may use cookies, log files and similar technologies to collect certain information regarding your use of the Sites and Services. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a website's servers and stored on your computer's hard drive which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies do not identify specific users, only a user's device. We use cookies to track and record user session information. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a new cookie or to disable cookies. However, this may impact the performance of the Sites or Services, and/or prevent you from using certain features of the Sites or Services.

The Sites and Services also may use log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track a user's movement around the Sites and Services, and gather demographic information.

In addition to our own cookies, log files and similar technologies, we may engage third parties (e.g., Google) to use their cookies, log files and similar technologies to report to us usage statistics of the Sites and Services, deliver advertisements on and through the Sites and Services, and for other similar purposes. Google Analytics, for example, uses cookies to track your interactions with our Sites and Services. Google collects information and reports it to us, without identifying individual users. This information helps us improve our Sites and Services so that we can better serve users. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Security

We use security measures that we, in our discretion, deem appropriate for the type of information that is provided by you and otherwise collected by us. However, since no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information stored. We also cannot guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
