While we follow generally accepted standards to protect your personal information, no security method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. The Internet is not a secure medium and we cannot promise that your use of our Site will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet. Online transactions carry risk, so please be vigilant when visiting websites and providing information online.

Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons, And Other Technologies
Similar to other websites and online services, we utilize cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to receive and store certain types of information when you use our Site.
Cookies are tiny files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize a user’s device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. We use cookies to improve your experience on our Site, remember your preferences, identify trusted web traffic, and understand usage trends. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but the Site may not function properly if you do so.
Web Beacons also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier. They are similar to cookies in that they track your movements and activities on websites and web connected apps. Web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails. When you access a page with an active web beacon, it generates a notice of that visit. They are often used in combination with cookies to track activity.
Social Media Features Our Site includes social media features from sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and others. These features may include widgets such as the ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ button. These features collect your IP address, page you are visiting, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by the respective social media site or hosted directly on our Site. Interacting with these features enables the social media site to collect and track certain information about you. Please refer to each site’s privacy policy to better understand their data collection, use, and disclosure practices.
Analytics We use Google Analytics and other tools to help us measure traffic and trends for the Site. These tools collect information sent by your browser or the Site, including cookie information, device information, browsing behavior and other information. This data allows us to monitor and improve the Site and provide analytics information and trend analysis.
Online Advertising We participate in online advertising and use tools such as Facebook Pixel to deliver relevant ads to you both on and off our website. Third party advertising partners who provide us with advertising services use cookies and other automatic information gathering technologies to collect information about you or others who use your computer or device. They do this in order to help deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. These advertising partners may link information about your use of our Site with information about your use of third-party sites or apps in order to better optimize ads and offers presented to you.
Do Not Track Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals since no uniform standard to respond to such signals has been developed at this time. However, you can manage certain tracking through your browser settings and by blocking cookies. Check the settings in your browser if you wish to block or otherwise limit cookies and other tracking technologies.
Local Storage We may use browser local storage (HTML5) to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our Site also may use HTML5 to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage.
