We use specific tracking technologies.
Here is more information about certain tracking technologies cookies we currently use on our sites. We use all of these tracking technologies to improve our site and the experience of our visitors:
| Type | Service | Purpose |
| Statistics | Google Analytics | We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. For example, we collect information about the site from which the visitor came, and the total number of times the visitor visited our website.

| Advertising | We use Facebook on our site to track the effectiveness of our stories that are distributed socially, as well as any marketing efforts we may engage in. To opt out of being tracked by Facebook, write to us at Contact Form | |
We engage in interest-based advertising.
We and our partners display interest-based advertising using information gathered about you over time across multiple websites, devices, or other platforms. This might include apps.
Interest-based advertising or “online behavioral advertising” includes ads served to you after you leave a website, encouraging you to return. These ads may be served after you leave our website, or after you leave the websites of third parties. They also include ads we and our partners think are relevant based on your browsing habits or online activities. These ads might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.
How do we gather relevant information about you for interest-based advertising?
To decide what is relevant to you, we and our partners use information you make available when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. This information is gathered using the tracking tools described above. For example, we or our partners might look at your purchases or browsing behaviors. We and our partners might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others. We work with third parties who help gather this information.
You can control certain tracking tools.
To opt-out of specific cookies, follow the instructions in the “We use specific tracking technologies” section above.
Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can go here. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.
Our Do Not Track Policy: Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a U.S. website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals.
If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.
Certain options you select are browser and device specific.
You can opt-out of online behavioral advertising.
The Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising run by the Digital Advertising Alliance provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behavior recorded and used for advertising purposes. To opt out of having your online behavior collected for advertising purposes via the “Your Ad Choices” tool, click here.
Certain choices you make are both browser and device-specific. . If you opt out of online behavioral advertising (or interest-based advertising) or reject cookies, this will not stop you from seeing advertising – this will just not be tailored to your interests and therefore is less likely to be relevant to you.
