The following are some of the ways and technologies we might utilize to gather and/or store navigational information:

• Cookies. A cookie is a small file stored on your device to help identify your browser or keep track of your preferences. Our Site may use cookies of various types (including HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, and Flash cookies) to store data on local storage. Most commercial browsers include functionality for disabling and deleting cookies; sometimes, blocking cookies entirely is possible by adjusting browser settings. Different browsers have different features and options, so you must customize each browser individually. These technologies are not guaranteed to successfully block HTML5 cookies or Flash cookies. Visit www.adobe.com for instructions on turning off Flash cookies. If you choose to disable or erase all cookies from our Site, some features may no longer work as intended.

• Beacons on the internet. A Web Beacon is a little tag (that may be invisible to you) that may be placed on the pages and messages of our Site. We may use web beacons for various objectives, including counting visitors to the Site, monitoring how users navigate the Site, counting how many emails sent were opened, and counting how many specific links were actually visited.

• Embedded Scripts. Embedded scripts are computer code meant to collect data about your activity on the Site, such as which links you visit. While you are connected to the Site, the code is momentarily downloaded from our web server or a third-party service provider to your Device, where it is removed or rendered inoperable. The attached script gathers no personally identifiable information.

• A unique identifier for a certain entity. The entity tag, or Etag, is a component of browser caching. The HTTP header contains a server-generated, random string uniquely identifying a given resource at a URL. If the resource’s content at that URL changes, a new ETag will be generated. In this context, ETags serve as a unique identifier for each individual device. ETag tracking may produce distinct tracking values even if the consumer’s browser does not permit standard HTTP cookies, Flash cookies, or HTML5 cookies.

• Analytics from Google and Other Providers. We employ a program called “Google Analytics” to track how people interact with our Website Services (for example, Google Analytics tracks things like how often people use the Website Services, which pages they look at while they’re here, and which sites they visit immediately before arriving at our Website Services). Instead of collecting personal details like your name or email address, Google Analytics just logs the IP address given to you on the day you accessed the Website Services. Information on how data is collected and used by Google Analytics, as well as how to disable the service, may be found at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Similar data about the use of specific online Services may also be collected through the use of other third-party analytics tools.

Internet service providers and websites where users interact may receive “do-not-track” signals from specific browsers. What websites should do in response to these signals is not standardized.
