The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:
Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website. 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 website.
IP Address and Clickstream Data. Our server automatically collects data about your server’s Internet address when you visit us. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you’re on the Internet. When you request pages from our website, our servers may log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on our website; the website you visit after this website; the ads you see and/or click on; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this website or a referral site; and other web usage activity and data logged by our servers.

In addition to using cookies, we and/or our third-party advertising service providers may use technologies designed to track users’ interactions with our website. Some of these technologies include web beacons (transparent graphical images placed on a website), pixels, tags, and Flash objects (also referred to as “Local Shared Objects”). Please refer to your browser’s instructions to remove cached sites, history, and images from your computer. Deleting or disabling cookies will not remove Flash objects or Local Shared Objects.
Online Behavioral Advertising. Some of the advertisements that may appear on our website contain cookies of their own. These advertising service providers may use your browsing history to choose which advertisements to display to you. If you do not wish to have us and/or our third-party advertising service providers know which advertisements and subsequent websites you have viewed, you may opt-out at AboutAds (established by the Digital Advertising Alliance). The Digital Advertising Alliance website contains important information on cookies, behavioral advertising, and what opting out will and will not do and choices you can make regarding interest-based advertisements.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
