Do you use other tracking technologies like web beacons?
In addition to cookies, we may use technologies like web beacons (also called “tracking pixels” and “clear gifs”). These are small graphics that help us track website visits, monitor email engagement, and measure advertising effectiveness. These technologies often rely on cookies to function, so declining cookies may affect their performance.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSOs)?
Websites may use Flash Cookies (also known as LSOs) for purposes such as fraud prevention and site operation. To block Flash Cookies, adjust your Flash player’s settings in the Website Storage Settings Panel or the Global Storage Settings Panel.
Blocking Flash Cookies may impair certain Flash-based functionality on our website.

Third parties may serve cookies to display advertisements on the Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements. They may also use cookies or web beacons to measure the effectiveness of these ads. However, this information does not allow us or third parties to identify you by name unless you provide personal details.
