4. Cookies and Other Technologies
Like many other companies, we use cookies and similar technologies on
our Online Services (collectively, “Cookie”). Cookies are
small files of information that are stored by your web browser
software on your computer hard drive, mobile device, or other
electronic device (e.g., a tablet).
We use Cookies to:
-
Estimate audience size and usage patterns;
-
Understand and save your preferences for future visits, allowing
us to customize the Online Services to
your individual needs;
-
Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions to
resolve issues and offer better site experiences and tools in the
future; and
-
Recognize when you return to the Site.
We set some Cookies ourselves, while separate entities set other
Cookies. We use Cookies other entities set to provide us with
useful information, to help us improve our Online Services, to
conduct advertising, and to analyze the effectiveness of
advertising. For example, we use Cookies from Google.
Browser Settings
You can block Cookies by changing your Internet browser settings
to refuse all or some Cookies. If you choose to block all Cookies
(including essential Cookies) you may not be able to access all or
parts of the Site.
You can find out more about Cookies and how to manage them by
visiting www.AboutCookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Platform Controls
You can opt out of Cookies set by Google by following the
instructions found at https://adssettings.google.com.
Advertising Industry Resources
You can understand which entities have currently enabled Cookies
for your browser or mobile device and how to opt out of some of
those Cookies by accessing the Network Advertising
Initiative’s website or the Digital Advertising
Alliance’s website. For more information on mobile specific
opt-out choices, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s
Mobile Choices website.
Please note these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or
browser on which they are exercised. Therefore, you will need to
opt out on every browser and device that you use.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided
by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses Cookies to help us analyze
how users interact with the Online Services, compile reports on
their activity, and provide other services related to their
activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect
information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you
are a returning visitor, and any referring website. The
information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to
and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to

for you to opt out of having such information collected.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA, a free service provided by Google,
Inc., to protect our Site from spam and abuse. Google reCAPTCHA
uses advanced risk analysis techniques to decipher humans and
bots. Google reCAPTCHA works differently depending on what
version is deployed. For example, you may be asked to check a
box indicating that you are not a robot or Google reCAPTCHA may
detect abusive traffic without user interaction. Google
reCAPTCHA works by transmitting certain types of information to
Google, such as the referrer URL, IP address, visitor behavior,
operating system information, browser and length of the visit,
cookies, and mouse movements. Your use of Google reCAPTCHA is
subject to Google’s
Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. More information as to Google reCAPTCHA and how it works is
available here.

5. Opt-Out Preference Signals
We do not engage in “sales” or “shares” as
those terms are defined under applicable laws and therefore, our Site
does not recognize the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”)
signal. For more information and to download and use a browser
supporting the GPC browser signal, click here:
https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC
signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or
browser extension you use.
Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track”
feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to
have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform
way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal,
the Site does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its
practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.
-
6. Security
We maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect the
personal information we collect and store from loss, misuse,
destruction, or unauthorized access. However, no security measure or
modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect
your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
-
9. Notice for Nevada Residents Only
Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt out of the sale of certain
types of personal information. Subject to several exceptions, Nevada
law defines “sale” to mean the exchange of certain types
of personal information for monetary consideration to another person.
We do not currently sell personal information as defined in the Nevada
law. However, if you are a Nevada resident, you still may submit a
verified request to opt out of sales and we will record your
instructions and incorporate them in the future if our policy changes.
You may send opt-out requests as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section.
-
10. Notice for California Residents Only
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California
Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we
provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a
comprehensive description of our online and offline practices
regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and
retention of personal information and of the rights of California
residents regarding their personal information. This section of the
Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to,
California residents. If you are not a California resident, this
section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean
information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably
capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked,
directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or
household. Personal information does not include publicly available,
deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful
information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this
“Notice for California Residents Only”
section we will refer to this information as “Personal
Information.”
The CCPA’s privacy rights described below do not apply to
Personal Information that we collect, process, sell, or disclose
subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its implementing
regulations. Much of the Personal Information that we collect is
exempt from the CCPA. Your choices and rights with respect to our
use and sharing of that information are subject to our Privacy Notice.

As mentioned above, if you are a California resident who has a

request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will
require additional information to verify your authority to act on
behalf of the California resident.
Our Process for Verifying a Request
If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or
exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we
determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or
exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of
your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the
California resident on whose behalf you are making such request.
We will verify your identity either to a “reasonable degree
of certainty” or a “reasonably high degree of
certainty” depending on the sensitivity of the Personal
Information and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized
disclosure, deletion, or correction as applicable. To do so, we
will ask you to verify data points based on information we have in
our records concerning you.
