What Are Cookies and Related Technologies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer that allow us and our third-party partners and providers to collect certain information about your interactions with our email communications, websites, and other online services. We and our partners may also use related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and logging technologies (collectively, “cookies”).
What We Collect When Using Cookies
We and our third-party partners and providers may use cookies to automatically collect certain types of usage information, such as your IP address, operating system, browser type, and the date/time of your visit when you access and use our services. We may also collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics to help measure usage trends and better understand our customer base.

Third Party Data Collection & Interest-Based Advertising
We participate in interest-based advertising and use third-party advertising companies to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. These third-party companies may collect information about your use of our services over time through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, and location-identifying technologies. This information may include clickstream data, browser type, AdID, and precise geolocation.
We may share a common account identifier, such as a hashed email address or user ID, with our advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our partners use this information to make the advertisements you see more relevant to your interests and to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, and market research.
Social Media Widgets and Advertising
Our services may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, or other widgets.

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.
We display targeted advertising through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others. These platforms may allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services or to groups of users who share similar traits. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.
