COOKIES AND OTHER
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Cookies and other
technologies. We may send "cookies" to your computer or use
similar technologies to understand and enhance your online experience at our
Sites. Cookies are small text files placed in your browser. We may also use
pixels or "web beacons" that monitor your use of our Sites. Web
beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a
graphic image on a webpage for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP
address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the web beacon
appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page
containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of browser that fetched the web
beacon, and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously
placed by that server. We may also integrate "Software Development Kits"
("SDKs") into our applications to perform similar functions as
cookies and web beacons. For example, SDKs may collect technical and usage
information such as mobile device identifiers and your interactions with the
Site. We may use cookies and other technologies to help recognize your browser
or device, maintain your preferences, provide certain Site features, and
collect Information about interactions with our Sites, our content, and our
communications. For example, when corresponding with you via HTML capable email,
web beacons and other technologies let us know about your activity, including
whether you received and opened our email, clicked through a link, or otherwise
interacted with our content, and this information may be associated with
Information previously collected. We may also use cookies and other
technologies (i) to provide, develop, maintain, personalize, protect, and
improve our Sites, products and services and to operate our business, (ii) to
perform analytics, including to analyze and report on usage and performance of
our Sites and marketing materials, (iii) to protect against, identify, and
prevent fraud and other unlawful activity, (iv) to create aggregate data about
groups or categories of our users, (v) to synchronize users across devices, and
(vi) for us to target, offer, market, or advertise products or services. By
visiting the Site, whether as a registered user or otherwise, you acknowledge,
and agree that you are giving us your consent to track your activities and your
use of the Site through the technologies described above, as well as similar
technologies developed in the future, and that we may use such tracking
technologies in the emails we send to you.
Managing cookies and
other technologies. Cookies can either be persistent (i.e., they remain on
your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until
you close your browser). Check your browser settings to learn how to delete
cookies. You may adjust your browser to reject cookies from us or from any other
website. Controlling cookies via browser controls may not limit our use of
other technologies. Please consult your browser's settings for more
information. However, blocking cookies or similar technology might prevent you
from accessing some of our content or Site features. Some of our Sites may use
locally stored objects ("LSOs") to provide certain content, such as video
clips, or animation, and a better user experience. Adobe's Flash player and
similar applications use this technology to remember settings, preferences, and
usage similar to browser cookies. Flash cookies are not managed through your
web browser, but you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe's web
site. Your browser may also offer other tools to delete or reject other LSOs; please
check your browser's settings or help menu for more information. Some of our
sites may use Google Analytics to analyze traffic. You can find out more information
about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage. To
opt-out of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Sites, you can download
and install the Browser Plugin available via this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. We do
not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform
technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies
and may adopt a standard once one is created. See the Your Choices section to
learn how to control data collection for certain purposes.
INFORMATION SECURITY
We have put in place
reasonable controls designed to help safeguard the personal information we
collect via the Sites. However, no security measures are perfect, and we cannot
assure you that personal information that we collect will never be accessed or
used in in an unauthorized way.

information that we have collected about you online from Sites on which this
Privacy Policy is posted or to update your user profile, please log into your

regarding the use of California Information from consumers under 16 years of
age. In particular, consistent with the CCPA, if we knowingly collect the

information unless we receive affirmative permission to do so. If the consumer
is between the ages of 13 and 16 years of age, the consumer may provide that
permission; if the consumer is under the age of 13, the consumer's parent or
guardian must provide the permission.
