the use of your
Personal Information
by such parties is
governed by the
privacy policies of
such parties and is
not subject to our

We may also disclose
information about you
that is not personally
identifiable. For
example, we may provide
our merchants,
affiliated business
partners, or other third
parties with reports
that contain aggregated
and statistical data
about our users.
When you use our Sites,
we collect certain
information by automated
or electronic means,
using technologies such
as cookies, pixel tags
and web beacons, browser
analysis tools, and web
server logs. As you use
our Sites and
applications, your
browser and devices
communicate with servers
operated by us, our
affiliated business
partners and services
providers to coordinate
and record the
interactivity and fill
your requests for
services and
information.
The information from
cookies and related
technology is stored in
web server logs and also
in web cookies kept on
your computers or mobile
devices, which are then
transmitted back to our
Sites by your computers
or mobile devices. These
servers are operated and

to detect certain kinds
of fraud. A "cookie" is
a small amount of
information that a web
server sends to your

information about your

connect your Site
activity with other

your interactions with
the Sites.
Some cookies are
temporary, whereas
others may be configured
to last longer.
“Session" cookies are
temporary cookies used
for various reasons,
such as to manage page
views. Your browser
usually erases session
cookies once you exit
your browser.
"Persistent" cookies are
more permanent cookies
that are stored on your
computers or mobile
devices even beyond when
you exit your browser.
We use persistent
cookies for a number of
purposes, such as
retrieving certain

you asked to be
remembered), and storing
your preferences (e.g.,
the destinations for

Pixel tags and web
beacons are tiny graphic
images placed on website
pages or in our emails
that allow us to
determine whether you
have performed specific
actions. When you access
these pages or open
email messages, the
pixel tags and web
beacons generate a
notice of that action to
us, or our service
providers. These tools
allow us to measure
response to our

improve our web pages

time zone of your

routinely send these
types of information to
web servers. Our server
logs also record the
Internet Protocol (“IP”)
addresses of the devices
