Non-Personally-Identifiable Information We May Collect Online. We may use various technologies to collect non-Personal Information about your visits online including:

a. Server Statistics. We may collect general statistics to track user trends on the Site. These statistics include hits to our server, the types of browsers used to access the Site, page views, and navigational patterns. The information that is collected in this manner does not provide us with any personally identifiable information about our users. It helps us track “where” our users are coming from. This allows us to pinpoint high traffic areas and determine the most effective ways to communicate with our users. In order to prevent the introduction of viruses and hackers into the Site, we may collect information, such as IP addresses, into a log file to be used to identify potential hackers of the Site.

b. Clear GIFs. We may use pixel tags (also called “clear gifs”) or other similar tracking technologies in our Site and/or in our communications to collect information about your navigation on our Site, and to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message. This information enables us to serve you and your interests better.

c. Cookies. To serve you faster and with better quality, we use "cookie" technology. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our Site users to enhance the experience on the site.
