Information We Collect By Automated Means
When you interact with our websites or open our emails, we may obtain certain
information by automated means, such as pixel tags, server or device logs and other
technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other
Internet connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store
information or settings in the browser. A “pixel tag” (also known as a web beacon),
which is a type of technology that is often used in combination with cookies, is placed
on a website or within an email to track certain activity, such as views of a website or
when an email is opened. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so
you will not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with
our products and services; and (3) otherwise manage and enhance our products and
services.
We may use these automated technologies to collect information about your device,
browsing actions, and usage patterns. The information we obtain in this manner may
include your device IP address, general location information, unique device identifiers,
device type and model, device characteristics and settings, browser settings and
characteristics, operating system type and version, language and country preferences,
battery and signal strength, usage statistics, referring emails and web addresses, and
other application details. We also may obtain information about your interactions with
our Services, such as pages visited, links clicked, features used, dates and times of
usage, session information, and other information about your use of our Services.
Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection
technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without
these technologies, you may not be able to use all the features of our websites. For
mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device
data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.
