This Service may use the following functional and required cookies: 

 

3rd Party Cookies for Serving Behavioral Ads. Company reserves the right to serve ads and third party ads on the Site that are targeted to your interests (“3rd Party Behavioral Ads”). 3rd Party Behavioral Ads are served by 3rd party advertising services that use 3rd party cookies (cookies passed by others, not by Company) to collect non-personal information about your use of the Site and other websites. This information is your “behavioral data.” 3rd Party Behavioral Ads do not use your personal information. Instead, they associate your behavioral data on visited sites with your computer, so that the ads your computer sees on the Site are more likely to be relevant to your interests. These advertising services may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on the service’s behalf. Company will provide notice and the opportunity to opt-out of receiving 3rd Party Behavioral Ads; however, the 3rd party advertising services that serve ads on the Site may use cookies which may make it more difficult to opt-out effectively.

You may opt out of the use such cookies by viewing the information found on https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.  

 

Pixel Tracking. A tracking pixel, also known as a marketing pixel, is a 1×1 pixel graphic used to track user behavior, site conversions, web traffic, and other metrics similar to a cookie. The tiny pixel-sided image is usually hidden and embedded in everything from banner ads to emails. Tracking pixels may be embedded into the Site’s HTML code, which contains an external link to the pixel server. When you visit Company’s website, the HTML code is processed by the browser, follows the external link, and opens the hidden graphic. Company may deploy retargeting pixels, which tracks a user through different sites and social media platforms. These pixels will provide you with a better experience on the Site, by suggesting targeted and relevant content. Company may deploy conversion pixels, which are active once you make a purchase through the Site. These pixels will track results from a specific ad campaign, which measure the conversion rate. Company may also deploy Facebook pixels, which are used in conjunction with Facebook Ads. These pixels track users who interact with both Facebook ads and the Site.  

 

Other Technologies. Company may use standard internet technology, such as web beacons and other similar technologies, to track your use of the Site. Company also may include web beacons in advertisements or email messages to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. The information Company obtains in this manner enables Company to customize the services offered to Company’s website visitors, to deliver targeted advertisements, and to measure the overall effectiveness of Company’s online advertising, content, programming or other activities. 

 

If you ask to be added to Company’s mailing list, Company will keep you updated with information on news, offers, updates, and other products, services, and events via email. Company may use pixels in email campaigns that allow Company to collect your email and IP address as well as the date and time you open an email or click on any links in the email.
In line with the legitimate interest Company has in promoting Company’s business, Company will use the email address you give to Company to provide you with this information. If you would like to be removed from that list, please let Company know by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of any marketing email that you receive.
