We may place cookies on your computer to allow us to recognize you on the website during future visits, to measure web traffic, to offer you certain products or services, or to customize your visit. Your internet browser may include settings that permit you to block cookies or to be notified when cookies are placed. Please be aware that if you use these mechanisms to block or remove cookies, certain features and functions of the website may be unavailable or may not operate optimally.

C. Web Beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” that are embedded in web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons may be used for various purposes, such as to count the number of visitors to the website, to monitor how users navigate the website, or to verify how many articles or links were actually viewed.

We receive from them anonymized and aggregated demographic and use information related to our presence on the respective social media platform(s) when you choose to visit us on those platforms.

When you visit our website, the operator of the social plugin may place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Site. If you are logged into the social media website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) while browsing on our website, the social plugins may allow the social media websites to share data about your activities on our website with other users of their social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins may allow Facebook to show your Likes and comments on our pages to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins may also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our website. Our practice does not control any of the content from the social media plugins. For more information about social plugins from other social media websites, you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data sharing statements.
