Use of cookies, web beacons, and Google Analytics

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. We use cookies and similar technologies for storing and honoring your preferences and settings, enabling you to sign-in, providing interest-based advertising, combating fraud, analyzing how our products perform, and fulfilling other legitimate purposes.

We also use “web beacons” to help deliver cookies and gather usage and performance data. Our websites may include web beacons, cookies, or similar technologies from third-party service providers.

Our Sites may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of our Sites and how we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our Sites, what pages you visit when you do so, and what other websites you used prior to coming to the Sites. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Sites, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of the Sites, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google Sites. Google may use the data collected on the Sites to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on the Sites, please review “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our Sites,” (located here or any successor URL).

Nevertheless, because no Sites are impenetrable, we cannot guarantee that information that users of the Sites may transmit or otherwise supply will be totally secure.

How long do you keep Personal Information?

We hold on to different types of data as necessary to provide the products and fulfill the transactions you requested, or for another legitimate purpose such as complying with legal obligations. Because the needs vary based on different data types, retention periods may vary significantly.

For example, we may keep information about you and how you use our Sites as long as necessary for our legitimate business interests, for legal reasons, and to prevent harm as described in the How We Use Information section above.
