Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

We use the following technologies in the following ways:

  • Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our website and services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our website and services. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
  • Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the website and services. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our website and services.
  • Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
  • Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically alert you to the use of cookies. Depending on your preferences, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our website and services who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the website, but some features may not function properly.
  • Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies. Clear GIFs, also known as web beacons, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your device hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web and application pages. We may use clear GIFs in connection with our website and services to, among other things, track the activities of website visitors and application users, help us manage content, and compile statistics about website usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
  • Do-Not-Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section, such as by disabling cookies.

 

Your Privacy Rights

You may have the following consumer privacy rights under applicable state laws, including California privacy laws:

  • Right to Know. You may have the right to request information about the personal information we have collected about you and for what purpose.
  • Right to Access. You may have the right to request information about how we process your personal information and to obtain a copy of that personal information.
  • Right to Portability. You may have the right to receive your personal information, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have that information transmitted to another organization in certain circumstances.
  • Right to Deletion. You may have the right to request the deletion of your personal information that we have collected from you.
