Additional Information about Internet Practices

When you visit our websites, we collect Website Information for various reasons.

We may also use Website Information to customize your experience with and analyze your use of our websites and interaction with our ads.

Some of these sites, apps, and platforms may use cookies, web beacons and other technology to capture and transmit information about you or your device to us or our service professionals. These service providers may use information about your visits to and interactions with this and other websites, mobile apps and platforms, or the ads themselves, together with information about you, your purchases or interests (which may include Website Information), to provide ads about goods and services that may be of interest to you ("Interest Based Advertising"). Some of this information may be exchanged with us or other service professionals for market research or to analyze and manage our advertising and marketing efforts.
