When you access or use any of our Digital Properties and/or Services, we use browser cookies, pixels, web server logs, web beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to automatically collect or receive certain standard technical information and other data (such as traffic data, location data, logs and other communications data) sent to us by your computer, mobile device, tablet, or any other device over time on our Digital Properties, and your online activity across third party websites, apps, and devices. We may also evaluate your computer, mobile phone, or other access device to identify any malicious software or activity that may affect the availability of our Digital Properties and Services. 

When you access or use any of our Digital Properties and/or Services, advertising companies, analytics networks and providers, and other third parties may use Tracking Technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, online services, digital properties and devices. 

The data we or third parties collect automatically may include personal information and/or statistical data that may not identify you personally; however, we or third parties may maintain, combine, or associate it with personal information collected in other ways or received from third parties. We and/or third parties use this information to (i) enhance the performance and functionality of our Digital Properties and/or Services; (ii) personalize your experience with the Digital Properties and/or Services, understand how you use our Digital Properties and/or Services, maintain a persistent session, and improve and further develop our Digital Properties and/or Services; and (iii) serve targeted and other advertising, and provide custom experiences, across other sites, apps, online services, digital properties and devices, measure how the ads perform, and for analytics purposes. 

The Tracking Technologies used on the Digital Properties and Services include the following, among others: 

Cookies: Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. In addition to collecting information, we use cookies to help us authenticate users, provide content of interest to you, analyze which features you use most frequently, and measure and optimize advertising and promotional effectiveness. To do this, we may use both session cookies, which expire once you close your web browser, and persistent cookies, which stay on your computer until you delete them. For information regarding your choices regarding Cookies, please see Section IV of this Privacy Policy.

Local Storage Technologies: We may use local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications. 

Web Beacons: We use Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, to demonstrate that a webpage or email address was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 

Third Party Sites: When access to the Digital Properties and/or Services is made available to you through third-party sites, such as social media, please be aware that these other sites maintain their own policies regarding Tracking Technologies and the collection and use of information. You are responsible for reviewing those policies. 

Information Obtained From Third-Party Analytics Services

We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your access and use of the Digital Properties and the Services, compile reports on activity, collect demographic data, analyze performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to device and internet usage. These third party analytics services use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to help analyze and provide us the data. By accessing or using any of the Digital Properties and/or the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The information used by such analytics services is generally at the aggregate level. Google and other services may associate such data with visitation information collected from our Digital Properties. 

We may add to or change these third-party analytics services from time to time.
