How We Protect Information
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of your personal information, including using SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions.

Cookies And Internet Advertising
We may use cookies or other tracking technologies to track how you use this website. Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your web browser, application, or mobile device when you click on ads that appear on this website. Clicking on a link to a third party website from this website may also allow that third party website to also transmit cookies to you.
We may also use “web beacons” (i.e. “web bugs” or “single–pixel” or “clear” GIFs) on this website. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies just as if you had requested a web page from their website.
You may adjust your web browser settings if you do not wish to receive cookies or web beacons but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of the functions and features on this website. You may also request to opt-out of an advertiser’s use of cookies by visiting the National Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. You may request to opt-out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting www.google.com/ads/preferences.
