Information We Collect Automatically
We collect certain personal information gathered from you passively through automated means (“other information”), such as the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to our Website, the country, state or province from which you access this Website, cookie IDs and segment IDs associated with cookie IDs, the pages of our Website that you viewed during your visit, duration and frequency of visit, any search terms entered on our Website, anonymized demographic information, log file data, and/or other anonymous usage statistics. We collect this other information through cookies, web beacons, navigational and location data, clear gifs, clickstream data, and other similar technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We also may use third-party website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics, Salesforce, and LinkedIn) that collect information about visitor traffic on our Website. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of our Website might not work without cookies. We may also use web beacons in emails and newsletters so that we know when such communications have been opened and to otherwise help us tailor our communications to you. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However, on many mobile devices, application users may opt out of certain mobile tracking activities via their device settings.

These tracking technologies help us determine which features and content on our Website are most important to our visitors. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can turn off cookies through your browser’s setting menu. Most modern browsers include a “Do Not Track” feature that may help protect your privacy. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. However, because there is not yet a defined response to do-not-track requests, our Website does not respond to your Do Not Track browser settings or signals.
