You can view all the Cookies and other Tracking Technologies that we use on our Site at any time by clicking on the Cookie Preferences link on the footer of our Site.

Google Ads and Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about use of our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to your device on the date you visit our Site rather than your name or other Personal Information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with other Personal Information. Although Google Analytics places a Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Site by disabling Cookies on your browser. Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) which are used along with Cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our Site is used. You can find additional information on how to install a browser add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Facebook: We use Cookies and pixels set by Facebook. With the support of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine you as a visitor to our Site in order to assist us display advertisements to you (Facebook Ads). We use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (that is, interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (known as custom audiences). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users. The Facebook pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users are redirected to our Site after clicking on a Facebook ad (known as a conversion). For more information, see Facebook’s privacy terms.

How to Block Cookies and other Tracking Technologies:  You can block Cookies and other Tracking Technologies from being downloaded on your device by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser.
