What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way
to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies
from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear
gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us
to recognize when someone has visited our Website
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or
"LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our
services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of
your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the
Website Storage Settings Panel
. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the
Global Storage Settings Panel
and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example,
how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site),
how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked,
and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being
delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies
may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially,
Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve 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 in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that
you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons
to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide
relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The
information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your
name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to
provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example,
changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
