  • your browser type,
  • the domain you visited our Website from,

  • other similar non-personally identifiable information.

The technical information we automatically collect does not enable us to personally identify you and is used to better understand our Website traffic, analyze the interests of our Website users, improve our Website and diagnose technical errors, and for business or marketing purposes.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Server Logs

Our Website uses cookies and other similar technologies which are automatically generated, sent to your browser, and stored on your hard drive to record information about how and when you use our Website. These cookies and other similar technologies identify a web browser on a specific computer or device and reveal certain non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, language, time zone, and operating system. The cookies and other similar technologies used by our Website do not identify the user personally, but allow the user to remain anonymous. Our Website may still be used with cookies disabled, but some Website functionality may be impaired.

Our Website may also use web beacons or pixel tags and other similar technologies, which are not placed on your computer but instead are embedded on certain pages of our Website or in emails. When you visit a page or read an email with a pixel tag, web beacon, or other similar technology, a generic notice of your interaction is generated.

Non-personally identifiable information collected through our Website may be used in aggregate for statistical purposes, and some of our analytics and digital marketing tools may combine the non-personally identifiable information collected from our Website with non-personally identifiable information gathered from you through other websites for target advertising, remarketing, retargeting, or tracking referral purposes. Our third-party vendors, like Google and Facebook, use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies from our Website and generated from their systems, to: (i) serve ads to you based on past visits to our Website; (ii) to collect or receive information from our Website and elsewhere on the internet, and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads; and (iii) show you our ads on websites and apps across the Internet. Your use of other websites and apps across the Internet is governed by the privacy policies of those websites and apps.

Our servers also log non-personally identifiable information about our Website users and their interactions with our Website.

How We Use Non-Personally Identifiable Information

The non-personally identifiable information that is collected about your visit to our Website is used for analytics purposes to better understand our Website traffic, analyze the interests of our Website users, improve our Website and diagnose technical errors, and for business or marketing purposes as determined by us in our sole discretion. This information may be aggregated and shared with or sold to third parties, but will not identify you personally. However, the non-personally identifiable information we collect may become linked to personally identifiable information if you provide personally identifiable information to us through our Website. Any non-personally identifiable information linked to personally identifiable information is subject to our personally identifiable information sharing practices detailed in the “Personally Identifiable Information Sharing” section of this privacy policy.

Opting Out of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies

How to access these settings, which settings are available, and how to turn on these settings varies by browser type and we encourage you to further investigate your browser’s privacy settings if you wish to opt out or adjust these settings in any way. If you choose to decline or block cookies, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the interactive features of the Website.
