- Cookies – When you visit the Websites, platform’ servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your Web browser.
- platform uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer. Please note that if you disable your Web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate the Websites, but the functionality and features of the Services may be affected, and you may not be able to successfully use the Services. Similarly, if you disable JavaScript, some features of the Websites may not function properly, and some areas of the Websites may not function at all.
- If you have chosen to identify yourself to platform, platform uses session cookies containing encrypted information to be able to uniquely identify you. Each time you log into the Services, a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account is placed your browser. These session cookies allow platform to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the Services and to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies are required to use the Services.
- platform uses persistent cookies that only platform can read and use to identify browsers that have previously visited the Websites. When you purchase the Services or provide platform with personal information, a unique identifier is assigned you. This unique identifier is associated with a persistent cookie that platform places on your Web browser. platform is especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, platform does not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. If you disable your Web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate the Websites, but you will not be able to successfully use the Services.
- platform may use information from session and persistent cookies in combination with Website User Data to provide you with information about platform and the Services.

For example, platform may engage third parties to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the Websites, such as Google Analytics or Omniture. platform may also contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from the Websites, from emails, and on third-party Websites. Ad networks follow your online activities over time by collecting Web Site Navigational Information through automated means, including through the use of cookies. They use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests. You may see these advertisements on other websites. This process also helps platform manage and track the effectiveness of its marketing efforts.

The information that platform may share with third parties described in this paragraph, however, does not include any personally identifiable information.

- Do Not Track – Currently, various browsers – including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari – offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Websites visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. platform does not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Websites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. platform takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
