Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology. Company currently uses cookie and web beacon
technology to associate certain Internet-related information about you with information about you in its
database. Additionally, Company may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future. (a)
Cookies. “Cookies” are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we may write cookies that may store
small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the pages of this Site. Cookies assist us in
tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what content you may have viewed on past visits.
When you visit this site again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences.
We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this site; accumulate and report
aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on your interests
or past viewing history; save your password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable cookies, although
the Site may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept or reject all
cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more about cookies at
https://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and functionality of Company’s websites, you
need to accept cookies. (b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an
image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and
associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows Company to
track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits for marketing
purposes to determine products or services you may be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on web
pages, Company also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in Company’s database. (c)
IP Addresses. Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We may
use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better
understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came
from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or
not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) is a unique
Internet “address” which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). For local area network
(“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP
addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns.
While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used
to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area
you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and
we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages. (d) Computer Profiles. Company may also
collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience
of our visitors. For instance, Company may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the
type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins,
language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us
with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you. (e) Data
Analysis. Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of Company. (f) New
Technology. The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly developing.
As a result, Company strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use
of new technology.
-
No Information Collected from Children. Company will never knowingly collect any Personal Information about
children under the age of 13. If Company obtains actual knowledge that it has collected Personal Information
about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it
does not collect such information, Company has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties.
