How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

Cookies. Like many websites, we use “cookies” to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our Site. We use this information to remember you once you have logged onto your account. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site. Using cookies enables us to determine your needs, likes, and dislikes, by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use the information that we collect from cookies to help us identify how our Site is being used; this helps us improve our Site and tailor it to meet your needs. We also may use analytic data for advertising and marketing purposes, including sharing aggregate or anonymous data for such purposes.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.

We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.

We use these tools to help us improve our Site, services, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.
