4. TRACKING & OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
- Cookies and other technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:
- Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.
- Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
- Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.
- For information concerning your choices with respect to the use of tracking technologies, see the Your choices section below.

We employ technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. These include secure transmission protocols, access controls, and vendor contractual requirements ensuring continued compliance with applicable privacy and data-protection regulations. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
10. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers that operate in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the United States and other locations, where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.
