‍Pixels or web beacons: Pixels or web beacons may also communicate information from Your Internet browser to a web server. Pixels can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from Your browser, check whether You have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which You viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of Your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed.

We sometimes work with third parties to advertise, provide or complement our Services, and these partners may set and access their own Cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on Your device. Likewise, if You receive email from us, we may use these technologies to capture data such as when You open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

The information collected and stored through these technologies includes IP address, unique identifiers, time stamps, browser type and other browser information, referring website, and more generally, what web pages You visit and how You interact with them, and what ads You view and how You interact with them.
