Pixel tags also enable us to send e-mail messages in a format that you can read, and they inform us whether e-mails have been opened, to help ensure that our messages are of interest to our General Visitors and others.

In addition, from time to time, we may undertake or commission statistical and other summary analyses of the general behavior and characteristics of General Visitors, and may share Anonymous Information with third parties for this purpose. We may also create De-identified Information from Personal Information by excluding data (such as your name or email address) that makes the information personally identifiable to you. Our use of Anonymous or De-identified Information is not restricted by this Privacy Policy.

Third parties, widgets, and hosted solutions that we use on our website may use the following technologies for features, services, advertising, or analytics:
a. Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Browser cookies allow websites and various third-parties to distinguish your device from others by having the cookie consist of a unique identifier or other data. Cookies can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience and to make it easier for you to use a website upon a future visit. We may include cookies on our Website and use them to recognize you when you return to our Website. We use both session cookies (which expire after you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). Persistent cookies can be removed by following your internet browser help file directions. You may set your browser so that it does not accept cookies. Cookies must be enabled on your Web browser, however, in order for you to access certain personalized features of our services that we may make available. Thus, if you choose to disable cookies, some areas of our website may not work properly.
We may also employ cookies to serve ads to users on other platforms and networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and the Google Display Network, based on prior web behavior. Google’s advertising requirements are summarized by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place in an effort to provide a positive experience for users and can be reviewed at https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en. We, along with our third-party vendors, such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies or other third-party identifiers to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website. Opting out: You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you by using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out of the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising initiative opt out page. You can permanently opt-out by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.
b. E-tags. E-tags are used to prevent duplicative downloading of content to your browser, which can enhance browser performance. E-tags use unique identifiers for content that can also be used to distinguish your browser in certain instances from others. Typically, e-tags are only deleted if all internet history, cache, and cookies are deleted. You should check your browser software for how to delete e-tags in your particular case.
c. HTML5 Local Storage. HTML5 local storage is another way that browsers can distinguish your device from others as well as remember data that may be important for the functioning of the website. Typically, HTML5 local storage is only deleted if all internet history, cache, and cookies are deleted. You should check your browser software for how to delete HTML5 local storage in your particular case.
d. Other technologies. Our website may occasionally use other technologies both for purposes of advertising as well as for features and services.
e.IP Addresses; Logs. We may automatically collect and record information from your browser, including your IP address (the internet address of your PC), your computer’s name, the type and version of your Web browser, referrer addresses, the location from which the computer is routing, and other generally accepted log information. We may also record page views (hit counts) and other general statistical and tracking information, which will be aggregated with that of other General Visitors in order to understand how our Website is being used, and for security and monitoring purposes.
a. Do-Not-Track. Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a “flag” or signal that an internet user may activate in the user’s browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to be “tracked” by third-parties as defined by the initiative. The online community has not agreed on what actions, if any, should be taken by the websites that receive the “do not track” signal, and therefore Do-Not-Track is not yet standardized. Our website does not alter its behavior or change its services when it receives a “do-not-track” flag or signal from your browser.
b. Your Privacy and Ad Choices. You can make decisions about your privacy and the ads you receive. You can control whether companies serve you on-line behavioral advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance website and using its opt-out: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/. The DAA opt-out requires that cookies not be blocked in your browser.
As an alternative to the DAA opt–out, you can also elect to block browser cookies from first parties (such as those from our website) and browser cookies from third parties (such as advertisers) by using the cookie blocking options built into your browser software. If you block browser cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly. Also, blocking cookies will not stop third-parties from collecting IP address, data stored in “Flash” cookies, and certain other types of technical information that may uniquely identify your browser
13. Social Network Widgets
Our Website may include social network sharing widgets that may provide information to their associated social networks or third-parties about your interactions with our web pages that you visit, even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-in or widget. Information is transmitted from your browser and may include an identifier assigned by the social network or third party, information about your browser type, operating system, device type, IP address, and the URL of the web page where widget appears. If you use social network tools or visit social networking sites, you should read their privacy disclosures, to learn what information they collect, use, and share.

If the sale occurs, the purchaser will be entitled to use and disclose the Personal Information collected by us, and the purchaser will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
16. Your California Privacy Rights
California requires operators of websites or similar services to make certain disclosures to users who reside in California regarding their rights, specifically:
a. Shine the Light. Under California law, a business that has an established business relationship with an individual, and has, within the immediately preceding calendar year, disclosed personal data that is primarily used for personal, family or household purposes to third party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes, must disclose to its California users, upon request, the identity of any such third party, along with the type of personal data disclosed.
You can contact us to as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section. Please note that under California law, businesses are only required to respond to a user’s request once during any calendar year.
b. Do-Not-Track. Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing on the internet. California law requires that we disclose to users how we treat do-not-track requests. The internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how compliance with “Do Not Track” would be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not Track” signal. Due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that would recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals in response to California law.
Under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California have the right to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, certain information with respect to the types of personal information the business shares with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and the identities of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year. You have the following right to restrict the sharing of personal and financial information with our Affiliates (companies we own or control) and outside companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements. Nothing in this form prohibits the sharing of information necessary for us to follow the law, as permitted by law, or to give you the best service on your accounts with us. This includes sending you information about some other products or services.
Restrict information sharing with other companies we do business with to provide financial products and services: Unless you say “No,” we may share personal and financial information about you with companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements.
You may make your privacy choice at any time. Your choice marked here will remain unless you state otherwise. However, if we do not hear from you, we may share some of your information with affiliated companies and other companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements.
If we send you alerts, e-vites, or other marketing communications, we will provide you with the ability to decline – or “opt-out of” receiving – such future communications. Instructions for opting-out will be provided either (a) with each such communication, or (b) in a prominent location on our Website. Once you have submitted your opt-out request, please note that you may continue to receive emails for a time while our system updates your request. Please understand that you may not be allowed to opt-out of formal notices concerning operation of this Website, legal, or other related communications concerning your relationship to the Site.If you need any assistance with the opt-out process, please contact us at: [email protected]
