Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about the use of our Sites and App. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect.
- Do Not Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies), and opt out of certain ad networks.
- Cookies. 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 Sites or access our App, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track activities on our Sites and App. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.

We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Sites or App to, among other things, track activities, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We also use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
- Third Party Analytics. We use automated devices and applications on the Sites and our App, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Sites and App. We use these tools to help us improve our Sites and App, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.
- Targeted Advertising and Ad Networks. We may use third party services, such as Google AdWords, to send users targeted ads, based on their use of our Sites and App. We may also participate in third-party ad networks and allow third parties to use cookies, pixel tags and other tracking technologies on our Sites to display targeted ads. These third parties may use cookies and other technologies to track your activities and display ads to you; they also may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources.

STATE SPECIFIC LAWS
In the United States, there are now five states which have enacted a Data Protection Law, with the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amend by the California Privacy Rights Act, serving as the template for the other four states: Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and Utah. All five of these states allow for individual rights as specified in the Your Rights section above.
In addition to the rights you have noted in the Your Rights section above, California requires that we identify the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last 12 months, the categories of sources for such information, and the categories of third parties with whom we have shared such information. We have identified this information in the With Whom We Share Information section above. If you would like to exercise your rights, please contact us.
Nevada also has a right of consumers to opt-out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal information, which is why we do not have an opt-out of such sale / sharing, (i.e., “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link).
Metrics
California law may require us to compile the following metrics for the previous calendar year: the number of rights requests received, complied with, and denied, as well as the median number of days within which we responded to those requests. To the extent this obligation applies to us, we will update this section.
California Shine the Light
If you are a California resident, you may ask for a list of third-parties that have received your information for direct marketing purposes during the previous calendar year. If we have shared your information, this list will contain the types of information shared, and we will provide this list at no cost. To make such a request, see the Contact Us section above.
California Do-Not-Track Disclosure
We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Sites for any third-party purposes.
