How We Use Cookies and Related Technologies

Our Site uses a combination of our own and third-party technical, analytical, advertising, and behavioral advertising cookies . The data processed by technical cookies is required for the purposes mentioned above in order to protect our legitimate interests, in order to provide you with our Site, to ensure system stability and efficiency, and to implement proper safeguards of the security of our Site. The data processed by analytical, advertising and/or behavioral advertising cookies are not strictly necessary for visiting our Site. If required by applicable law, we will only process data by analytical, advertising and/or behavioral advertising cookies if you gave us your prior consent.

Our Site may also use beacons, clear GIFs/pixel tags, JavaScript, local storage, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically collect and record information about your browsing activities, and use of the Site. We may combine this data with other personal information we collect about you. This data, and the data we collect from cookies, is used to understand how our Site is used, track bugs and errors, provide and improve our Site, track sessions, prevent fraud, and protect our Site, as well as for targeted marketing and advertising, to personalize content, and for analytics purposes. We provide additional information about tracking technologies below. You can learn about how to register your preferences regarding certain uses of the technologies by reading the Managing Cookies and Tracking Preferences section below.

Web beacons. Some of our Site’s web pages, email messages, and newsletters may contain electronic images known as web beacons, which are also called single-pixel GIFs. Web beacons collect information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. Web beacons are a technique we may use to enhance and personalize the Site and services we offer, to provide product information and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, compile aggregated statistics about the usage of our Site and other services, improve and personalize our advertising, and to track the number of users who have opened and acted upon our commercial email messages.

We use these tools to help us understand use of, and to improve, our Site and other services, performance, ad campaigns, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects, to perform their services.
