Cookies are small text files that websites save on our local device when you visit a site. We use cookies for a variety of purposes, such as remembering site preferences, creating a record of a visitor’s online activity, or identifying what parts of a site are visited most often. Additional details are available in this site’s Cookie Notice.

Pixel Tags

Pixel tags are tiny graphic images (also known as web beacons, action tags, or transparent GIF files). We use pixel tags to:

• Tell us which parts of the website you have visited and to measure the effectiveness of any searches you may perform;
• Send you email messages in a format you can read and let us know when you have opened a message from us and whether you click on the links contained in the message;
• Together with our ad marketing partners, track your interaction with online advertising, measure the performance of a marketing effort, and for targeted advertising.

File Metadata

If you submit a digital photo or other file to us, it may contain metadata or precise geolocation. If you do not want to share this data, you should delete the data before sharing it with us.

Embedded Links

Certain links in our emails and third-party websites may include tracking information embedded in the link. This tracking is accomplished via a redirection system that allows us to understand whether you clicked on the link and how the link is being used. In some cases, this non-personal information can be combined with personal information we have about you to improve our services and marketing campaigns.

What information do we collect from third parties?

In addition to information that we collect from you, we also collect information from third parties.
