As you navigate and use the website, certain information can be passively collected using various technologies. We passively collect a variety of types of information in a variety of ways, including as described below.<\/span><\/p>

User Activity.<\/b> We collect information on how the website is used, for example, the features you use, the links that you click on, your search parameters, data reflecting transactions that have taken place using the website, how you interact with other users, performance statistics, and other usage data. We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our website (\u201cLog Data\u201d). This Log Data may include information such as your computer\u2019s Internet Protocol (\u201cIP\u201d) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.<\/span><\/p>

IP Addresses and Related Data.<\/b> The servers used to operate and provide the website may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the website, including IP addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, your media access control (MAC) address, your operating system, your device\u2019s screen resolution, your web browser type, the pages you access on the website, the websites you access before and after visiting the website, the length of time you spend on the website, date and time stamps, clickstream data, your approximate geographic location, performance statistics, and usage data. We may use this information to administer the website and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze website traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and help prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the website.<\/span><\/p>

We may combine this information with other information we collect (including personal information) and information obtained from third parties for security reasons and to protect our rights or the rights of others. The suppliers that we use to provide the website may collect information about your visits to this website and other websites. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below under \u201c<\/span>Cookies and Tracking Technologies<\/span>\u201d below.<\/span><\/p>

Analytics.<\/b> The website may use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the website, including when you visit the website, URLs of the websites that you visit prior to visiting the website and when you visit those websites, and IP addresses assigned to the devices from where you access the Internet. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data, and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the website\u2019s structure and content.<\/span><\/p>

For more information on how Google uses this data, visit <\/span>Google\u2019s Privacy Notice<\/span><\/a> and Google\u2019s page on <\/span>How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps<\/span><\/a>. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the <\/span>Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on<\/span><\/a> for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent us from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit <\/span>Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites<\/span><\/a>. You may disable cookies as discussed below, but that may impact your use and enjoyment of the website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Advertising Networks, Personalized Advertising, Remarketing, and Retargeting.<\/b> From time to time the website may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including Google Ads and advertising services provided by Meta (sometimes referred to the Meta \u201ctracking pixel\u201d), and advertising services provided by TikTok (sometimes referred to as TikTok Pixels).<\/span><\/p>

These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with this website and other websites and will use that information to target advertisements for goods and services and to display those advertisements on other websites. The information collected may be associated with your personal information.<\/span><\/p>

Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer\u2019s interests and preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer\u2019s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as \u201conline behavioral advertising.\u201d For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of this website and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a website.<\/span><\/p>

Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to this website and your interaction with our products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics Advertising Features on the website. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google\u2019s collection or use this information, visit <\/span>Google\u2019s Safety Center<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Google\u2019s Ad Settings<\/span><\/a> and follow <\/span>Google\u2019s personalized ad opt-out instructions<\/span><\/a>. Opting out will not affect your use of the website.<\/span><\/p>

To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the <\/b>National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page<\/b><\/a> or the <\/b>Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature (\u201cLimit Ad Tracking\u201d on iOS or \u201cOpt Out of Interest-Based Ads\u201d on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.<\/span><\/p>

Social Media.<\/b> The website may implement widgets, tools, or applications provided by social media platforms and the website may otherwise allow for interaction, integration, or content sharing with third-party social media platforms and companies. We may be required to implement cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by those social media platforms in order to facilitate those communications and features. By choosing to use any third-party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, you allow us to share information with the designated social media platform. Interactions, integrations, and content sharing with a social media platform and their features may require or allow the social media company to collect information from or about you, whether through cookies, registration information, or otherwise. Social media companies may track your online activity even when you do not choose to interact with the social media platform or its widgets or other features. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any social media platform that you use or visit in connection with the website, as those platforms\u2019 respective privacy policies will govern their collection, use, and disclosure of information they collect from you. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platform. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use or disclosure of your information or content by third-party platforms, which you use at your own risk.<\/span><\/p>

The website may also use the advertising services and networks offered by social media platforms to deliver advertising content. Use of these services requires social media platforms to implement cookies or pixel tags to deliver ads to you while you are logged into the applicable social media platform.<\/span><\/p>

If you do not want social media platforms to collect information relating to you via the website or to link information collected via the website to your social media accounts, we suggest that you: (a) do not connect to or share information with social media platforms using the website; (b) hide social media platform plug-ins using an ad blocker; (c) always log off completely from social media platforms before visiting the website or other websites and delete all related cookies; and, (d) where the option is made available by a social media platform, disable the advertising website and networks operated by that platform. For example, you may opt out of Twitter\u2019s interest-based advertising by notifying Twitter through one of the methods it describes <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. You hereby acknowledge that we make no guarantee that exercising the foregoing options is guaranteed to prevent applicable social media platforms from tracking you and, further, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for a social media platform\u2019s tracking of you.<\/span><\/p>
