How we use cookies, web beacons and pixels

Cookies are small text files that many websites transfer to users’ hard drives to let the website deliver personalized user experience, remember the users’ information and settings when a return visit occurs, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in website improvements. The cookies help the company analyze web traffic or evaluate pages visited in order to improve site performance and detect any error messages. Cookies allow web applications to respond to the user as an individual by remembering and tailoring operations to the user’s needs, likes, and dislikes based on information collected about their preferences.

The company uses functionality cookies to identify which pages are being visited. This helps it analyze data about webpage traffic and improve the company’s website in order to tailor it to the audience’s needs. The company only uses this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help the company provide the user with a better website experience by enabling the company to monitor which pages users find useful and which they do not. A cookie in no way gives the company access to a user’s computer or any personally identifiable information, other than the data the user chooses to share with us.

The user can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users can usually modify their browser setting to decline cookies. This may prevent users from taking full advantage of the website. Learn more about cookies at allaboutcookies.org

The company also uses, directly or through third-party partners, web beacons and pixels on some of its website pages in conjunction with cookies to compile statistics about site usage and to help deliver relevant content more effectively. Web beacons are small pieces of code that are embedded in website pages and alert the company when they have been viewed.  These technologies allow the company to deliver personalized communications to users through website or emails and measure the impact of those communications. In these situations, the company’s goal is to deliver relevant communications based on specific online activity related to search and site behavior. The company also uses pixels in HTML emails to determine whether recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails. This allows the company to gauge the effectiveness, relevance and value of its email communications.
