2. Other technologies

In addition to cookies, our website may use other technologies to collect information automatically,
such as:

  • Browser Web Storage. We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.
  • Web Beacons. We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our website and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our website and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the website, so that we can manage our content more effectively.
  • Session-replay technologies that employ software code to record users’ interactions with the website in a manner that allows us to watch video replays of those user sessions. The replays may include users’ clicks, mobile app touches, mouse movements, scrolls and keystrokes/key touches during those sessions. These replays help us diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement.
  • Chat technologies that may employ cookies and software code to operate the chat features that you can use to communicate with us through the website. We and our vendors may access and use your IP address, your general geographic information (e.g., city, state), and other information (including personal information) you may share with us through online chats for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
