Information We Collect Automatically
We and certain third parties may automatically collect information about you when you access or use the Services. The methods that may be used on the Services to automatically collect information, and the types of information collected, include:
Log Information: When your computer or mobile device contacts our web servers (for example, when you visit the Services), our web servers automatically collect usage information. Such usage information includes information about how our visitors use and navigate the Services and can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page as well as the length of their stays, browser type, IP address and referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting the Services.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies (collectively, “tracking technologies”) may be used to collect information about your interactions with the Services. The information that tracking technologies may collect in connection with your use of the Services include IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, information about your use of the Services and data regarding network-connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device). The use of these tracking technologies helps us to serve you better by understanding what you are interested in, tracking trends and measuring the effectiveness of ads. We may also allow specific third parties to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own tracking technologies. Some information about your use of the Services and certain third-party services may be collected using tracking technologies across time and services, and used by us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use.
Brief descriptions of common tracking technologies are provided below:
Cookies: A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer’s hard drive or stored temporarily in your computer’s memory. There are two kinds of cookies: those that are “session” oriented and those that are “persistent.” Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Services and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain longer and help in understanding how you use the Services and enhance your user experience. Cookies may remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can delete cookies manually or set your browser to automatically delete cookies on a predetermined schedule. If you use your browser’s method of blocking or removing cookies, some but not all types of cookies may be deleted and/or blocked and as a result, some features and functionalities of the Services may not work. Please see “Your Choices” below for information on your choices related to tracking technologies.
Flash Cookies: Adobe’s Flash Player is used by many websites that offer video and other interactive content. By default, use of the Adobe Flash Player generates “flash cookies” (also known as “persistent identification elements” or “local shared objects”), which are data files that are placed on a device via the Adobe Flash plug-in and locally stored on the device other than in the browser. Browser settings won’t control flash cookies. The Adobe Flash Player (and similar applications) use flash cookies to remember user settings, preferences and usage similar to the browser cookies referenced above. Please see “Your Choices” for information on your choices related to flash cookies.
Web Beacons: Our web pages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon, which is sometimes also called a “clear gif,” that allows us to monitor and collect certain limited information about our users, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small or invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page can act as a web beacon. We may use web beacons to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate the Services. We may use web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about the Services.
Information We Collect From Third Parties
