Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use a variety of technologies on our site. One is “cookies” which transfers a text-only string of information to your browser so our web site can remember your browser in the future. We may send a cookie when you visit our web site. Cookies may be used in many ways but the most common are to verify your login status, track entry points for registration purposes, and track and measure the success of a marketing campaign. Cookies are not linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

You have the ability and option to decline cookies by modifying the settings on your browser. These settings may vary by software provider and software release. Please refer to the instructions or help desks provided by your software provider to modify the settings. More information about how to manage cookies is available at http://www. aboutcookies.org.

Some of our pages, emails, and other content may contain electronic images known as web beacons or single-pixel GIFs. These are invisible graphic images. Web beacons allow us to count the number of users that have opened an email, seen an advertisement, and visited our web pages. Web beacons collect only limited information such as the cookie identifier, the URL where the web beacon resides, and the time and date of the pages visited. They also allow us to track the number of people that open an email that we have sent. We may use this to customize our offerings to you.

Web beacons cannot be declined when delivered via a regular web page. They can, however, be refused when delivered via email. If you do not wish to receive web beacons via email, you need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML emails via your email software.

We may also use pixels (transparent GFI files) to help manage our online advertising. Pixels enable our partners to recognize a unique cookie on your web browser, which in turn allows us to recognize what advertisement or promotion brought users to the site.

Web beacons, cookies, pixels (GFI files) do not contain your name, address, telephone, or email address.
