Cookies and IP Addresses

To provide you with the best online experience, we capture your IP address and use cookies to collect information about your browsing behavior on our Sites. This information is aggregated with other visitor data so we can analyze how people use our Sites. For example, we may use data to determine which pages are viewed most frequently, how long users spend on the site, and if previous users have returned to our site.

This website data does not include any Personally Identifiable Information. You may disable cookies by following instructions on your browser.

Third-Party Cookies

Certain third parties may deliver cookies for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors with nonaffiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on our Sites or other websites. For example, we may use a third-party cookie from Google Analytics or Google Ads for remarketing, demographics and interest reporting, Google Display Network (GDN) Impression Reporting, and Segmentation.

Links to Other Sites

Our Sites contain links to websites operated by third parties. If you use a link provided on our Sites to visit a third-party website, you will no longer receive protections covered in this Privacy Policy. Please review the Privacy Policy on third-party websites to understand how they acquire, use, or protect your Personal Information.
