Other tracking technologies
We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies.

This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another; to deliver or communicate with cookies; to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website; to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you; to improve site performance; and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair functioning of these technologies.

We do not ordinarily link a user’s IP address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.
