We Collect Information from Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Like many online companies, we use services provided by Google, Facebook and other companies that use tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information directly from your device about your browsing activities, your interactions with websites and the device you are using to connect to the internet.

We may send one or more cookies (which are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer or mobile device when your browser loads our Site. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are used to store information about your website page activities so you can easily pick up where you left off and don’t have to start navigating a site all over again. Cookies act as a sort of “bookmark” within the site. For instance, session cookies can store ordering information needed to make shopping carts work instead of making you remember all the items you put in a shopping cart. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Site, but you can always remove it (see below). For instance , if you enter your city or postal code to get local news or weather information, depending on your settings, the data in the cookie is stored so that you will see the same relevant local information when you return to the site. Saving your preferences with cookies such as your preferred language prevents you from having to set your preferences repeatedly. Please review your web browser “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. If you delete, or choose not to accept cookies from our Site, you may not be able to utilize all our Services to their fullest potential.
