Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tools and technologies to automatically collect and record information about your browsing activities and use of our Services. We use this information to, for example, analyze and understand how users access, use, and interact with our Services, to identify and resolve bugs and errors in our Services, to assess secure, protect, optimize, and improve the performance of our Services, to prevent fraud and protect our Services, as well as for targeted marketing and advertising purposes, for analytics purposes, and to personalize content in our Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our service providers may do so on our behalf).
Cookies

Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process, support the security and performance of the Services, or allow us to track activity and usage data within the Services.
Pixel Tags
Pixel tags (sometime called web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on your device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Services to, among other things, track the activities of users, and help us manage content and compile usage statistics. We may also use these in our emails to let us know when they have been opened or forwarded so we can track response rates and gauge the effectiveness of our communications.
Third-Party Analytics
We may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics to evaluate your use of our Services. We may also use other analytics to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us understand and improve our Services. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

We and our service providers may use the information we collect about you (whether directly from our Services, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our service providers identify other devices you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We and our service providers also may use the cross-device and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails.
Third-Party Advertisers and Network Advertisers
We partner with companies that assist us in advertising our Services. These companies may use tracking technologies to collect or receive information from our Services and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide analytical services, interest tagging, and ad targeting. We use network advertisers to serve advertisements on non-affiliated websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables us and these network advertisers to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These cookies and other technologies are governed by each entity’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these advertisers with information, including your personal information.
