Third-Party Tracking Technologies and Interest-Based Advertising
We work with certain third parties to collect Personal Information and to engage in analytics, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use tracking mechanisms such as web logs, pixel tags, local storage, Javascript code and ETags. They may also set and access cookies on your computer or device. For example, our Site uses Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed in this Policy. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.
The Site may also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect information over time and across unaffiliated websites for use in online behavioral advertising. For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited the Site to target online ads for our services to you on other websites.

Additionally, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies by opting out here or, if located in the European Union, you may opt out here.
