  • Internet Protocol ("IP") address

  • browser type and browser language

  • Cookies: Small data files that we transfer to your computer to keep track of your preferences and recognize you as a return visitor.

  • Clear GIFs / Web Beacons: Small images placed on a web page or in an e-mail message used to monitor user behavior, deliver cookies, collect information, count visits, and measure campaign effectiveness.

  • Log Files: Records of website activity that enable us to gather statistics about browsing habits and service usage.
