Advertising and Marketing Technologies
We use a variety of technologies to track your actions on our website and advertise to you through third-party websites and other third-party platforms. This process is generally called “remarketing” or “retargeting.” Personally identifying information is not shared or collected by us, but may be collected and stored by our third party advertising partners, over which we have no control. These retargeting services use cookies and other technologies to track user behavior and provide customized advertising to users.
We may use “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc. (hereinafter “Facebook Pixels”) on our website for retargeting purposes. Facebook Pixels are a type of cookie. Facebook Pixels allow tracking of a Facebook user’s behavior after the user clicks on a Facebook advertisement and is redirected to the advertiser’s website. Using this process, we are able to measure the efficacy of our advertising and marketing through Facebook through anonymized data. Facebook Pixels also allow Facebook to customize its advertising to its users, including providing advertisements for websites that users have already visited. Using this process, Facebook may provide you with advertisements for our website and services. Specific user personal information is not shared with us, but Facebook may store and use personally identifying information for its own marketing and other purposes. You may opt out of this process by modifying your advertising preferences with Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads

These services use cookies, track your behavior on our website and others, and allow for customized advertisements to be displayed to you through Google’s platforms.
