TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies on the Application to help customize the Application and improve your experience.

You can remove or reject cookies but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Application. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser's settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
Website Analytics

The Website and Application may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information.

No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
