We collect this information through the use of the following tracking technologies and services.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed on your device. This file can then be accessed by a website or internet service (such as Google Analytics) to identify your computer. Cookies enable websites and internet services to track your activity within the website or service and across the internet. The information collected can include:

  1. Information about your device, such as device type, model, screen resolution;
  2. Information about your device’s software, such as operating system and web browser used;
  3. Information about the network you are using, such as your IP address, geographic location, behavior on a website, date, time, and duration of your visit to the website, how you got to the website, and more.

Web Beacons and Widgets

To understand how web beacons and widgets are able to track users across the internet, it important to remember that any given website is an assemblage of information stored across multiple servers. Though the website might appear as a single page to the user, a single page can actually be thought of as a collage of items that are all put together on demand every time a user visits the website. When a user visits a website, a “call” is put out to every server associated with the requested page to provide their respective information. This “call” for information is how websites and servers are able to track users across the internet. Two specific types of trackers are relevant as it relates to this Website’s privacy policy:

  1. Web Beacons: A web beacon is a piece of code embedded in a website that initiates a server request to the tracking company. These web beacons are embedded across multiple websites and are often invisible and unobtrusive to users—so that most users are unaware of them. These beacons often take the form of a transparent pixel. When a user accesses a website with a web beacon present, then a server request is initiated that notifies the tracking company that the user has accessed that website. These web beacons can be thought of as digital cookie crumbs that enable tracking companies to know when a user has visited a particular webpage.
  1. Widgets are more complex pieces of code that enable websites and networks to offer services to users within and outside of their respective website. Examples include social media buttons (such as the Facebook Like button), multimedia players (such as YouTube embedded videos), and more. Like web beacons, these widgets are able to track users across multiple websites. Widgets also enable websites and tracking companies to collect additional information through the user’s interaction with the widget.

Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics. This web analytics service offered by Google tracks and reports website traffic. When you visit our Website, Google Analytics collects the URL of the specific page you visited, your IP address, and may create and read cookie data stored on your device. Apps owned by Google (such as YouTube) or that use Google Advertising services also share information with Google, such as the name of the app and the unique identifier for the advertisement. Google collects and uses this information to maintain and improve their services, deliver personalized ad content, measure the effectiveness of advertising, and more, across their networks.

To learn more about how Google Analytics operates, please see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
