We and our third party service providers may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, pixels, and other tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer websites and mobile apps, track users’ movements around the websites and mobile apps, gather demographic information about the user base, and understand usage patterns. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions that may be of interest to individual users.

Targeted Online Advertising
We may allow third party ad networks and other advertising service providers (“Ad Providers”) to collect information about your use of our Website over time and across third-party websites so they can play or display targeted ads that they think will interest you. This may include using cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your online activities across sites and services.
Ad Providers collect this information through automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. The information that is collected may include information like your device identifier, IP address, browser type, operating system characteristics, location data (based on IP address), search history, shopping history, and online browsing behavior.

Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals, but you can limit targeted advertising through our partners by adjusting your browser settings or visiting the opt-out pages linked above. Please note you will still see generic advertisements using these tools, they just won’t be personalized based on your online behavior across third party sites and services.
