As well as cookies, we use other technologies to recognize and track your use of the Site. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML e-mail, typically in conjunction with a cookie.
Web beacons allows us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within the Site to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to the Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.
We may use software tools such as Flash or JavaScript to collect page interaction information such as clicks, drags, and hover-overs, response times, errors, and length of visits to certain pages.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. These companies may use information about your visits to the Site and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and service that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
We may make changes to this Notice from time to time, so please review this page periodically for changes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will indicate when the Notice was most recently updated.
