Information Automatically Collected
Sometimes we use automatic methods such as “cookies” (small amounts of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a Website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive) and single-pixel GIF images alone or in combination with personally identifiable information, to make our Website work better, to understand Website usage and trends, deliver a more personalized experience and to improve our content and offerings. Examples of this include the Internet protocol address used to connect your computer to the Internet; type and version, operating system, and platform; URL information, including date and time; pages you viewed or searched for; and pictures you viewed.
