a.
Types of Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use
Our Properties and the third parties that we authorize may use the following tracking technologies:

Cookies, which are a type of technology that install a small amount of information on a user's computer or other device when they visit a website. Some cookies exist only during a single session and some are persistent over multiple sessions over time.
ii.
Pixels, web beacons, and tags, which are types of code or transparent graphics that contain a unique identifier. In addition to the uses described below, these technologies provide analytical information about the user experience and help us customize our marketing activities. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, pixels, web beacons, and tags are embedded invisibly on web pages.
iii.
Session replay tools, which record your interactions with our Properties, such as how you move throughout our Properties and engage with our webforms. In addition to the uses described below, this information helps us improve our Properties and identify and fix technical issues visitors may be having with our Properties.
iii.
Embedded scripts and SDKs, which allow us to build and integrate custom apps and experiences, some of which may be developed by a third party.
b.
Purposes for Using These Technologies
We and authorized third parties use these technologies for purposes including:
i.
Personalization, such as remembering user preferences, login details and browsing behavior; tracking your activity across online properties and platforms over time to better understand your preferences and interests; and personalizing online content;
i.
Analytics, such as analyzing how our websites are used. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us improve our Properties, performance, and user experiences. Google Analytics may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners; and
i.
Advertising, such as providing you with offers that may be of interest to you; conducting targeted advertising to you on our Properties and those of third parties; and measuring the effectiveness of our communications with you and advertising campaigns, including identifying how and when you engage with our communications.
c.
Information Collected
These tracking technologies collect data about you and your device, such as your IP address, location (both approximate and precise), cookie ID, device ID, AdID, operating system, browser used, browser history, search history, and information about how you interact with our Properties (such as pages on our Properties that you have viewed).
d.
Disclosures of Your Information
We may disclose information to third parties or allow third parties to directly collect information using these technologies on our Properties, such as social media companies, advertising networks, companies that provide analytics including ad tracking and reporting, security providers, and others that help us operate our business and Properties.
e.
Your Choices
Some of the third parties we work with participate with the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). The DAA and NAI provide mechanisms for you to opt out of interest-based advertising performed by participating members at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/. You may also click on the AboutAds icon on advertisements and follow the instructions on how to opt out.
You can also refuse or delete cookies using your browser settings. If you refuse or delete cookies, some of our Properties’ functionality may be impaired. Please refer to your browser’s Help instructions to learn more about how to manage cookies and the use of other tracking technologies. If you change computers, devices, or browsers; use multiple computers, devices, or browsers; or delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer, device, or browser. Opting out of interest-based advertising will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interest-based advertising from us or our agents or representatives.
Some browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) preferences. Currently, we do not honor Do Not Track signals.

We suggest that you read the privacy policy and terms of use of each such website.

Our Services may allow you to engage with social media services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram (“Social Networks”), and widgets such as the “Share this” button, or interactive mini programs that run on our Services or which link from Social Networks to our Services (“Social Functions”). These Social Functions may access, collect, and integrate with your Social Network accounts and information. For example, these Social Functions may collect your IP address, identify which page you are visiting on our Services, or set a cookie. Social Functions may also be used to register you as a Services user. If you choose to use these Social Functions, you may be sharing certain Social Network profile elements with us, including your name, birthday (month/day), comments, contacts, email address, photos, or favorite teams.
This sharing is subject to each Social Network's own privacy policy and terms of use. We do not control those Social Networks or your profiles on those services, nor do we modify your privacy settings on those services or establish rules about how your personal information on those services will be used. Please refer to the privacy settings in your Social Network account to manage the data that is shared with us through your account.
Information you include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, chat room, or Social Network, or that you share in an open forum such as an in-person panel or survey, may be viewed and used by others without any restrictions. We do not control such uses of your personal information, and by using such services you assume the risk and acknowledge that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by us and/or third parties for any number of purposes and that the usage restrictions set forth in this Privacy Policy do not apply to such services. To request removal of your personal information from a blog, community forum or other publicly accessible part of the Services, contact us using the information in the Contact Us section. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so.

Opting out of Interest-Based Advertising. To provide you with more relevant and interesting experience, we may work with third party companies to display ads or customize the content on the website and on other websites.

If you elect to not share your location information, you may be unable to access some features of our Services that are designed for mobile devices or that require us to confirm your location. Also, if you prevent the sharing of location information, we may still estimate your general location based on the IP address you use to access our Services.
