Whenever you visit or interact with our Website, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect non-personally identifiable information about how the Website is accessed and used, such as browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the page served, the time, your geo-location, the preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Website.

A cookie is a small text file that a website can place on your computer's hard drive for record-keeping or other administrative purposes. Our Website may use cookies to help to personalize your experience on the Website. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Although most web browsers accept cookies automatically, usually you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; or (ii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies.

Use of Google Analytics and Google Adwords. We use a tool called "Google Analytics" to collect information about use of this Website for remarketing purposes.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.
This Website also uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to the Website. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics and Google Adwords about your visits to this Website is restricted by this privacy policy, Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Website by disabling cookies on your browser.
