We also collect some information automatically as you navigate through the Services:
- Analytics tools — we collect usage details, IP addresses, and information gathered through cookies and other tracking technologies. We use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics for Display Advertisers, to measure traffic and usage trends. These tools use a combination of first-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies or identifiers (e.g., Google advertising cookies) to collect information sent by your device or our service — such as web pages visited, browser add-ons, and other relevant data — to help us improve the service. We aggregate this analytics information with data from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual. You can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertisers by following the instructions here.
- Cookies and tracking technologies — we may ask advertisers or other partners to send ads or services to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies. When you visit the Services, we may use cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons or tracking pixels to understand how you use the Services and provide additional features. This data is not personally identifiable and may be turned off within your web browser's settings.
- Log file information — we log information about your use of the Services, including browser type, language, access times, and pages viewed. Our servers automatically record certain log file information, including your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, number of clicks, web requests, referring/exit pages and URLs, browser type, and how you interact with links, landing pages, domain names, and pages viewed. We may also collect similar information from emails sent to you, which helps us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked. This allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Services.
- Device information — when you use a device such as a computer or phone, we may access, monitor, collect, and store one or more “device identifiers.” These are small data files that uniquely identify your device and may deliver information about how you browse and use the Services. Some features of the Services may not function properly if the use or availability of device identifiers is disabled or impaired.
