2. How We Use Cookies and Other Network Technologies
We collect the above Information directly and also through the use of third parties. We collect such Information by using certain kinds of technologies, such as cookies, web beacons/GIFs, and other similar technologies. Third-party service providers, advertisers, and/or partners may also view, edit, or set their own cookies, web beacons/GIFs, and/or other similar technologies.
A. Cookies
The Services may use "cookies" and other web tracking tools to enhance your online experience with us. We may store Information about you using the cookies on our Services. A cookie is a small file sent from a website and stored on your computer by your web browser while you are browsing. We use cookies to improve your site experience, to assess content usage, to distinguish you from other users of our Services, and to support the marketing of our Services.
You can adjust the cookies we collect by visiting the Cookie Notice or by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. You are free to decline to accept cookies. However, by doing so, you may not be able to take full advantage of our Services and all of our offerings. Some cookies are necessary in order for the Services to function. In certain circumstances, we may link the Information we store in cookies to personal Information you submit while using the Services.
Further, if you would like to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to your browser or file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies. Other information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.
B. Web Beacons/GIFs
We or our service providers may also use small electronic files otherwise known as "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," "embedded links," and other commonly used information-gathering tools in connection with some website pages and HTML-formatted email messages. These tools allow us to compile aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. A pixel tag is an electronic image (often a single pixel), that is ordinarily not visible to website users, and may be associated with cookies on users' hard drives. Pixel tags allow us and our service providers to count users who have visited certain pages of the Services, to deliver customized services, and to help determine the effectiveness of the Services. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, pixel tags can inform the sender of the email whether and when the email has been opened. These technical methods may involve the transmission of Information either directly to us or to a third-party service provider authorized by us to collect Information on our behalf.
C. Analytics
Analytics are tools we use, such as Google Analytics, to help provide us with information about traffic to our website and use of our Services.

E. Do Not Track
Many modern web browsers give you the option to send a "Do Not Track" signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. At this time, the Services do not specifically respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of our third-party advertisers and analytics service providers to learn about your choices about information they collect from you. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative offers information about some of the Internet advertising companies we may use, including how to opt out of interest-based advertising they deliver.
