As you visit our Website, including email communications, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect non-personal identification information. Non-personal identification information may include but is not limited to certain information about your equipment, browsing action, click patterns, mobile device data, operating system, your IP address, browser type, domain name, access time, and referring website address. The tracking technologies we use include the following:
2.3.8. Cookies
A cookie is a data text file sent from a website to your browser. It may be stored within your system. We use non-identifying cookies to provide easier site navigation. Our cookies do not generate personal data, do not read personal data from your machine, and are never tied to anything that could be used to identify you. Information gathered through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address. By tracking usage, we can best determine the needs of our customers.
2.3.9. Clickstream Data
Through website access logs, we do collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our Website. This information is used for internal purposes for research and development, user analysis, and business decision-making, all of which provides better services to our users. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties for data processing.
2.3.10. Pixels and Web Beacons
We employ a software technology called tracking pixels (a/k/a web beacons/web bugs/clear gifs) that enables us to better manage the content on the Website by informing us what content is effective. Tracking pixels are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of visitors to a website. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, tracking pixels are embedded invisibly on website pages and are about the size of the period at the end of a sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by tracking pixels to your personally identifiable information. We use tracking pixels in our e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these e-mails, please see the “Marketing Communications” section of this Privacy Policy below.
