​

Cookies and similar technologies. The following technologies facilitate some of the automatic collection described above:

​

• Cookies, are small text files that websites store on user devices and 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, are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

• Session Replay Technologies. We use third-party services provided by Hotjar that employ software code to record users’ interactions with the Website in a manner that allows us to watch DVR-like replays of those user sessions. During those sessions, the replays include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, and scrolls [and keystrokes/key touches]. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement. You can learn more about Hotjar at https://www.hotjar.com/legal/privacy-policy/ and you can learn how to opt out from Hotjar’s collection at https://www.hotjar.com/policies/do-not-track/.
