Automatically when you visit or use our Website and our applications as described below.

When you use the Website, we or our third-party service providers automatically collect information from you through tracking and similar technologies that tells us which pages were visited and by how many users, the order in which pages were visited, and which hyperlinks were “clicked.” Not all of this information is personal information as we define it above. The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:

Cookies. A cookie is a piece of data that’s either stored in your computer’s memory temporarily and automatically deleted when you close your browser (a “session” cookie) or placed on your hard drive (a “persistent” cookie) by a web server. A persistent cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed. Cookies allow us to make your interaction with the Website faster and more personal, for example by remembering your preferences the next time you return to the Website. Cookies also allow us to monitor how you and other users use the Website. This information can be used to improve the site or detect and prevent site misuse.

Web beacons. Web beacons, which are also known as clear GIFs, bugs or pixel tags, are often used in combination with cookies. They are small electronic file images (often transparent) that are embedded as part of the Website for the purpose of monitoring the behavior of persons who interact with the Website, for example by counting the number of persons who have visited a page or the popularity of certain content.

You are able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser or device. For more information on how to do so, please refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. Some features of the Website may not function properly with cookies disabled.

  • To present the Website and its contents to you.

  • To analyze Website usage and improve our Website functionality.
  • To diagnose problems with our server, administer the Website, identify the most popular areas or features of the Website, identify where our users are coming from and determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities.
  • To comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
  • To notify you regarding any concerns with the Website, including, as required by law, in the event that any sensitive personal information you have provided to us is exposed to unauthorized third parties.

  • If and when we sponsor promotions or sweepstakes, or third parties sponsor promotions or sweepstakes in conjunction with us, either we or the third party will post relevant privacy information in the official rules and/or registration area for the promotion or sweepstakes.
