ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING

ANALYTICS
We may use third party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools, to conduct audits, surveys or reports, to help prevent fraud and to provide certain functionality to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on by clicking here. If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools such as clear GIFs to collect data, such as when you open our email or click on any links or banners contained in our email. This data allows us to measure the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

ONLINE ADVERTISING
When you use the Services, third parties may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone or other device to collect information about you, as described above. These third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google, Act-On Software, Sugar Market/Sales Fusion, Facebook, Twitter and others) may use this information to provide you with relevant content and advertisements as you use the Internet and may access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone or other device that you use to access the Services to assist in this activity.

We do not have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device that you use to access the Services by these unaffiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about personalized advertising through your browser and how you can generally control the placement of cookies on your computer to deliver personalized advertising, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or the Your Online Choices link to opt-out of receiving personalized advertising from companies participating in these programs.

We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or for the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

Please note that if you exercise the choices above, you may still see advertising when you use the Services, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.

NOTICE ABOUT DO NOT TRACK
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, and therefore we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-induced DNT signals.
