Passive Information
What is a Cookie?
Our site utilizes cookies to collect information about how our Site is used. Passive Information gathered from cookies may include the date and time of visits, the Site pages viewed, time spent at our Site, and the websites that you visited just before and just after your visit to our Site. To find out more about cookies, please visit www.cookiecentral.com. If you do not wish to transmit “cookie” information about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser. Please consult the “Help” section of your web browser in order to correctly turn off or disable the cookie functions. However, please be advised that turning off or disabling the cookie functions on your web browser may prevent our system from properly recognizing you when you visit our Site, and consequently may make your participation in our Program more difficult or invalid.
Our Site’s servers also automatically identify your computer by its Internet protocol (“IP”) address, which is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider. IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Internet. Your IP address can reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Your IP address may be used to address problems with our server, administer our Site and/or to gather broad demographic information about our Users. Finally, the other websites that you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, as well.
How Do We Use the Information Collected?
Broadly speaking, persons we employ directly, or as contractors or agents, at our direction use Active Information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer services such as support, and distributing information about products and services that you have requested.
