Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to monitor user traffic patterns from one page to another, deliver cookies or communicate with them, understand if you have arrived at the Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, improve site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns.

In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functionality.

Websites may also use "Flash Cookies" (also known as local shared objects) to collect and store information about your use of our services, prevent fraud, and for other site operations.  If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust your Flash Player settings to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel.  You can also control Flash Cookies by visiting the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include how to delete existing Flash Cookies, prevent Flash Cookies from being placed without your permission, and block Flash Cookies from websites other than the one you are visiting).  Please note that restricting or limiting the acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of certain Flash applications, including those used in connection with our services or online content.

Third parties may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. They may also use technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.

To do this, they may use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other personal details unless you choose to provide them.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
