This information is generally not considered Personal Information because it relates to a business. If such Business Information relates to a business contact person, we will treat it as Personal Information.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"privacy-policy-tutorial\">Usage Data and Sites Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We automatically collect information in connection with the actions a person takes on the Sites that is not reasonably capable of being associated with an identifiable person or household (\u201cUsage Data\u201d).

Some of these cookies and tools may be provided by third parties who we engage to assist us. Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Instructions for how to manage cookies in popular browsers are generally available online. However, certain features of the Sites and Services may not work properly if you delete or disable cookies.<br>We use the following types of cookies:<br>\u2022 Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies are used to learn more about you and advertise products\/services that might interest you. We may also use information from advertising cookies to improve our marketing strategies.<br>\u2022 Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies help us understand how our Sites are working and who is visiting our Sites. We may use information derived from analytics cookies to improve Site functionality. Google Analytics is one tool we use, and you can learn more by reviewing Google\u2019s Privacy Policy.<br>\u2022 Functional Cookies: Functional cookies allow our Sites to work as intended such as by ensuring videos play correctly, to enable users to share content, and to count users who share content. These cookies may relate to third-party services such as YouTube, Vimeo, or AddThis.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies remain on a user\u2019s system for varying periods of time. Some only remain during a viewing session, others may remain for a year or longer.<\/p>\n<p>We employ software technology that enables us to track certain aspects of a user\u2019s visit to the Sites and engagement with emails. This technology helps us better manage content on the Sites by informing us what content is effective, how consumers engage with the Sites and emails, and how consumers arrive at and\/or depart from the Sites. The software typically uses two methods to track user activity: (1) \u201ctracking pixels\u201d and (2) \u201cclear gifs.\u201d Tracking pixels are pieces of executable code that are embedded in a web page that track usage activity Including which pages are viewed, when they are viewed, and how long the pages are viewed. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers which are embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether a user has viewed a web page or email message. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user\u2019s session and Personal Information, if provided by the user.<\/p>\n<p>If you arrive at the Sites by \u201cclicking through\u201d from another website, then certain information about you that you provided to that other website, such as the terms you were searching that led you to the Sites, may be transmitted to us and we may use it. You should review the privacy policy of any website from which you reached the Sites to determine what information was collected by that website and for what purposes you agreed that website could use that information. We may retain information about you provided to us by other websites and will only use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such information may be associated with other Usage Data or Personal Information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross-Context Behavioral and Targeted Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We work with third-party advertisers, search providers, and ad networks (\u201cAdvertisers\u201d) to learn more about you and show you our ads or other of our content that we believe would be relevant to you. Advertisers may collect and use information about your use of the Sites or Services as well as other websites and services.

We and\/or Advertisers may also append other data to the data collected by Advertisers to create an interest profile of individual users. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that an Advertiser may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via the Sites, on third-party websites, or on social media properties. If you do not want to receive some online advertising, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (\u201cDAA\u201d) Consumer Choice Page. The DAA website allows you to opt-out of one or more cross-context behavioral and targeted advertising networks. Opt-outs are device and browser specific; therefore, you will need to set your opt-out preferences for each device and browser. Deleting browser cookies can remove your opt-out preferences; however, the DAA offers browser extensions that help preserve the opt-out preferences you set on the DA\u2019&#8217;s Consumer Choice Page.
