We have relationships with third parties who may obtain non-personal information directly from the cookies placed by our online services on your computer to help analyze our business and customers.
Our Online Services may also use a common web technology called "Action Tags" to anonymously track purchase, usage and other web activity information. Action tags can be used to provide data to third parties for tracking purposes. However, our online services do not use action tags to collect or transmit personal information. In addition, third parties may set their own cookies and tags through our online services (e.g. through interest-based advertising). We do not control such third parties or their privacy practices. If you do not want third parties to be able to use such methods, you should change your browser settings to restrict such access.
