Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) to track activity on our Website and hold certain information.

Tracking Technologies collect information that tells us how you use our Site, web-related products and Services. The use of Tracking Technologies does not give us access to the rest of your computer.

This, in turn, helps us make our Website relevant to your interests and needs.  We use a number of different Tracking Technologies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies.

You can instruct your browser to refuse Tracking Technologies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Website.

“Do Not Track” Requests

Our Website currently does not respond to “do not track” or similar signals.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Your transmission of your information to our Website thus is done entirely at your own risk.

Third-Party Websites

Our Website may contain links to other sites, including those of third parties or partners.  While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices other websites use.  By accessing other third-party websites or applications through our Website, you are consenting to the terms and privacy policies of those websites.  It is possible that other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you use our Website.

Our Site may include social media features, such as Meta “Likes” or “Recommend” buttons, X, Instagram, and YouTube.  These social media features may require cookies to be set to function properly.  These features may also collect personal information such as your IP address.  These features are governed by the privacy policy of the social media platform.  Please review the Privacy Policy of the social media platforms to learn how they protect your information.
