We and/or certain service providers operating on our behalf may collect Personal Information about your activity, or activity on devices associated with you over time, on our sites and applications, and across non-affiliated websites or online applications. We may collect this Personal Information by using certain technologies, such as cookies, pixels, third party libraries, analytics, mobile application technologies, and other similar technologies. Third-party service providers, advertisers, and/or partners may also view, edit, or set their own cookies or place web beacons.

  • Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.
  • Pixels. Website pages may contain small files known as pixels (also referred to as clear web beacons, gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity). We also use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Services. These technical methods may involve the transmission of Personal Information either directly to us or to a third party authorized by us to collect Personal Information on our behalf. Our Services use retargeting pixels from Google, Facebook, and other ad networks. We also use web beacons in HTML emails that we send to determine whether the recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails.
  • Analytics. Analytics are tools we may use, such as Adobe Analytics, to help provide us with information about traffic to our website and use of our Services, which the Analytics provider(s) may share with other services and websites who use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
  • Mobile Application Technologies. If you access our website and Services through a mobile device, we may automatically collect Personal Information about your device, your phone number, and your physical location.

Our use of online tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws. To the extent that these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request via Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information or by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Please note that some features of our website may not be available to you as a result of these choices.

You can control cookies and tracking technologies. If you choose to block cookies and other trackers, certain features of the Services may not work. Blocking or rejecting cookies will not stop all of the tracking described in this Privacy Policy. These features and options are browser and device specific and are not uniform. You can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links for commonly used browsers may be helpful, or you can use the help option in your browser for more details (PLEASE NOTE: These third party links are provided below for your convenience, and we may not actively monitor the content of these links).
