Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We and our Service Providers use cookies (only when the user is asked to select a location), web beacons, and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site and Services. We may combine this information with other Personal Information we collect from you (and our Service Providers may do so on our behalf).
Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies), but such disabling will impair use of the Site and Services.
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Services. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
- Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.
- Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will not be able to browse certain areas of the Site or use the Services.
Third-Party Analytics. We may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site and Services. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your Personal Information with these third parties unless we have your prior consent to do so. For more information on Google analytics, including how to opt-out, go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We encourage users to be aware when they leave this Site and to read the privacy policy of a third-party website before providing any information to the third-party website.
