Cookies and Other Automated Online Information Collection

Cookies and other automated online information collection (such as web beacons and  embedded scripts) may be used on websites, ads and e-mails to identify users, collect  information and provide users a more efficient, personalized and enjoyable user experience by:

• improving websites and online services
• permitting market research, campaigns and web analytics
• tailoring ads, websites and online services to users' likely interests

Cookies

In general, a cookie is a file that a website places on a user's computer to identify it and to  maintain its unique information from page to page (whether the user is logged in or has placed  items in their shopping cart, for example). Cookies include browser cookies and Flash cookies  stored on a user's hard drive. 

Browser Cookies

Browser cookies typically enable a website to identify a user the next time he/she visits. This  lets a website remember a user's preference or lets a user remain signed in to a website or view  products that were placed in a shopping cart. Typically, most web browsers allow users to view,  disable or delete browser cookies, accept or reject cookies entirely or by specific site, and notify  a user each time a cookie is offered.

Flash Cookies

Flash cookies are cookies that are stored and accessed using Adobe Flash. Flash cookies are  ordinarily larger than browser cookies, and take up more space on a user's computer allowing  more information to be stored. Users can manage and control settings concerning Flash  cookies on their computer by visiting the Adobe® Flash® Player website at:

Web Beacons

Web beacons are bits of code embedded in web pages, ads, images and e-mails that record  activities such as when a user has visited a certain page, when an e-mail was opened, or  whether certain ads on a website and other sites were effective. By turning off browser cookies,  a web beacon ordinarily should not be able to record the user's unique information, even though  it will still identify the website visit or other activity.

Embedded Scripts

Embedded scripts are also bits of code that measure how a user interacts with a web page  (which links are clicked on, for example). Scripting functionality, such as JavaScript, may be  turned off via your web browser. 

Please note: If a user exercises their choice to reject or disable cookies or other automated  means, users may not be able to take advantage of the full features and functionality of a  website.
