Other Information Collected

As Users navigate and use the Site, certain information can be passively collected—that is, gathered without the User actively providing the information or being concurrently made aware of the collection of information—using various technologies. We passively collect a variety of types of information in a variety of ways. We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.

IP Addresses and Related Data. The servers used to operate and provide the Site may collect data pertaining to Users and the equipment, software, and communication methods Users use to access the Internet and the Site, including Internet protocol (“IP”) addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where Users access the Internet, Users’ Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, Users’ media access control (MAC) address, Users’ operating system, Users’ computer screen resolution, Users’ web browser type, the pages Users access on the Site, the websites Users access before and after visiting the Site, the length of time Users spend on the Site, date and time stamps, clickstream data, Users’ approximate geographic location, performance statistics, and usage data. We may use this information to administer the Site and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze Site traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and help prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the Site.

We may combine this information with other information collected through the Site (including personal information) and information obtained from third parties for security reasons and to protect our rights or the rights of others. The suppliers that we use to provide the Site may collect information about Users’ visits to the Site and other websites. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below under “Web browser cookies” section below.

Web browser cookies. Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. User's web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them.  We use cookies to help us improve User access to the Site (for example, by remembering User contact and other information when Users access or use the Site), to identify repeat visitors to the Site, to track how Users access and use the Site, to learn when and how users visit the Site, to learn how popular Site pages are and aren’t, to learn which search terms are used to find the Site, to learn which websites direct Users to the Site, to help display certain information on the Site, and to improve Users’ enjoyment of the Site. 

The Site may use both cookies that we implement, and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties. “First-party” cookies allow your browser to talk to the actual website that Users are visiting, whereas “third-party” cookies allow your browser to talk to third-party websites, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website Users are visiting or a third-party analytics provider.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. Browsers generally also allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. For example, a browser may allow Users to reject cookies from certain websites, reject certain types of cookies regardless of the website, reject or disable all cookies from all websites, and/or delete cookies stored previously. Some browsers also give Users the option of being notified every time a cookie is sent to your browser by a website. Users can disable or limit cookies but doing so may impact your use and enjoyment of the Site and other websites. For example, the Site may not be able to be personalized for you, may no longer capture or remember your preferences or other choices you have made on the Site in the past, and may not remember your name or contact information.

Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file.

Our suppliers may use cookies and tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Site visitors across the Internet to understand how Users get to the Site and for the analytics purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.

The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used depends on the type of cookie.
