Use of Cookies, Pixel tags/web beacons, Analytics information, and Internet-based advertising

We, as well as third-parties that provide content or other functionality on our Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services. We use Technologies that are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices (referred to collectively as a “device”) that allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our sites, services, applications, messaging, and tools, and to recognize you across devices.

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences and facilitate and enhance your experience. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies. However, if you do that, the site may not work properly.
  • Pixel tags/Web beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the site that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.
  • Social media widgets. Our website includes social media features such as the Facebook “Like” button and LinkedIn (that might include widgets such as the share this button or other interactive mini programs). These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These social media features are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
  • Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics and Google Analytics demographics and interest reporting to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on some of our Services, and to develop website content.

You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our uses of such Technologies fall into the following general categories:

  • Operationally necessary. This includes Technologies that allow you access to our sites, services, applications, and tools that are required to identify irregular site behavior, prevent fraudulent activity and improve security or that allow you to make use of our functionality;
  • Performance related. We may use Technologies to assess the performance of our Services, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how our Services;
  • Functionality related. We may use Technologies that allow us to offer enhanced functionality when accessing or using our Services. This may include keeping track of your specified preferences, interests, or past items viewed so that we may enhance the presentation of content on our sites;
  • Advertising or Targeting related. We may use first-party or third-party Technologies to deliver content, including ads relevant to your interests, on our sites or on third-party sites.

If you would like to opt-out of the Technologies we employ on our sites, services, applications, or tools, you may do so by blocking, deleting, or disabling them as your browser or device permits. See also the section on “Do Not Track” below.
