It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

• Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.

However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
• Web Beacons. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
• Pixels. A pixel is a tiny snippet of code that gathers information about visitors on a website, which may include how you browse, what type of ads you click on, and other behaviors. One type of pixel is a clear gif, which are transparent, 1x1 pixel images that allow us to track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and understand user behavior by collecting data on page views, email opens, and other interactions. This information helps us improve our services and tailor content to better meet the needs of our users.
• Scripts. A tracking script is a snippet of code written in languages such as JavaScript, which is added to the HTML of a web page or within an application. This script runs in the background when the page loads or when specific events occur, collecting data that is then sent to a server for analysis, such as page views, click events, form submissions, and session durations. A script may be used to transmit user information.

We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.
