We may use cookies (small text files placed on your web browser or device) in connection with our Sites; and we may analyze the information derived from these cookies for the same purposes as set forth elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. You may be able to limit the use or function of some cookies on your computer or mobile device in the manner described below.
We may use the following types of cookies on the Sites:
A. “Convenience” cookies: These cookies can store ‘persistent’ information like registration information for use on later visits to the Sites. You may be able to configure your browser to block/delete these cookies; but if you do, you will have to (e.g.) input the account-related information every session.
- You may have the option to opt out of convenience cookies (if applicable) when you visit our Sites.
- If you do not opt out, and you would like to delete any account information we may store via convenience cookies, you can take the following actions: (1) you can delete your cookies (via your browser); and/or (2) you can reach out to us as specified in this Privacy Policy.
B. “Analytics” Cookies: Cookies which help us to determine usage patterns of our web pages by collecting information about how visitors use our Site.
More specifically, we use a tool called Google Analytics for aggregated and anonymized website traffic analysis. In order to track your session usage, Google places a cookie with a randomly generated Client ID number in your browser. This ID number is anonymized and contains no identifiable information like email, phone number, name, etc. Google also has access to your IP address. In addition, Google may install additional cookies (e.g., Google fonts, Google tag manager). We use Google Analytics to track aggregated website behavior, such as what pages you looked at, for how long, and so on. This information is important to us for improving the user experience and determining site effectiveness. To learn more about our use of Google Analytics and what Google Analytics does, please see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
If you would like to understand or limit what Google Analytics-derived browsing information we may have and/or want to delete any Google Analytics data, you can take the following actions: (1) you can delete your cookies (via your browser); (2) you can reach out to us as specified in this Privacy Policy, and/or (3) you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser, which can identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (as amended for government websites) and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.
C. “Necessary” Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse a website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies.
D. “Third-party” Cookies: These cookies are set by other online services that run content on the page you view on your browser. For example, if you click on a Facebook "like" button, the underlying code may store a cookie on your computer that can later be accessed by Facebook and may be able to track other sites that you visit.
E. Web Beacons: We may also collect information using Web beacons, which are small images embedded into websites or emails that send information about your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit our Sites, use our mobile application, or open an email we send to you.
Please see “Your Choices” below to manage the use of these Cookies.

Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable or perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to or from us over the Internet. As a result, you use the Sites at your own risk. When registering with us on the Sites, we encourage you to choose passwords of sufficient length and complexity, install the latest security updates and anti-virus software on your computer to help prevent malware and viruses, not share your password with others, and review your account information periodically. If there is any unexpected activity or inaccurate information or if you have reason to believe that your information is no longer secure, please contact us using the contact information provided above.
