Automated Data Tracking Technologies
What are Automated Data Tracking Technologies?
A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Conversions API) that collect information about use of the Sites and user traffic.
Why Do We Use Automated Data Tracking Technologies?

In addition to such tailoring, we use Usage Information to ensure that our online presence operates properly and efficiently for you and for your individual customer experience, to evaluate the use and benefit of such presence, and to support our Sites and our marketing efforts.
