INFORMATION COLLECTED BY AUTOMATED MEANS

When you visit the Site, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. The information we collect in this manner includes IP address, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, information on actions taken on the Site, and dates and times of visits to the Site.

A “cookie” is a text file that a website sends to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser.

A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server.

Through these automated collection methods, we obtain “clickstream data,” which is a log of the content on which a visitor clicks while browsing a website. As the visitor clicks through the website, a record of the action may be collected and stored. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of the Site.

We may use third-party website analytics services, such as those of Google Analytics, to collect information about visitor traffic on the Site. The service providers that administer these services may use technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us analyze how visitors arrive at and interact with the Site. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers.

In addition, we use information collected online through cookies, web beacons and other automated means for purposes such as customizing our visitors’ visits to the Site and the manner in which our visitors browse the Site. We also use this information to help diagnose technical and service problems, to administer the Site, to identify visitors to the Site, and to gather demographic information about our visitors. We use clickstream data to determine how visitors navigate through the Site and how we may tailor the Site to better meet the needs of our visitors.

We also may use the information we collect in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
