We use web measurement technology (such as Google Analytics) to automatically track how visitors interact with the site including where they came from, what they did on the site and whether they completed any predetermined tasks while on the site. Aggregate data is used to help us improve our user interface and diversify our content offerings to meet the needs of our customers, track operational problems, prevent fraud and improve the effectiveness, security and integrity of the site. This information does not identify you personally. For each page that you visit, we collect and store only the following technical information:

– Type of browser and operating system used to access our site (if provided by the browser)
– URL address of the referring page (if provided by the browser)
– Completion or success status of the request for a web page or other on-line item

This information is only used to help us make the site more useful for you. With this data we learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use.

Cookies
When you visit most websites, their web servers generate pieces of information known as cookies, which helps webmasters understand how users interact with their site’s content and services. Websites use cookies to track one’s activities on a website (e.g., pages visited, links clicked on, etc.), and to record information about the user so when the user returns to the site, customized features can be provided.
There are two types of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your web browser’s memory cache, and will expire when the browser is closed. A session cookie is not placed on any hard drive, and it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is saved to a file on your hard drive and is accessed whenever you re-visit the website that put it there. This lets that website remember what you were interested in the last time you visited.
We may use persistent cookies to enable Google Analytics and other plugins and services to differentiate between new and returning visitors. Persistent cookies remain on your computer between visits until they expire.
By default, persistent cookies and web measurement technologies are automatically used when you visit our site. Nevertheless, if you decide to disable or remove cookies from your browser, you will continue to have access to all information and resources on the site. To learn more about how to disable cookies in your browser please visit the help pages for your browser.
