We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using the Services, as well as for online tracking purposes. We can recognize your computer to assist your use of the Services. We also gather statistical information about the usage of the Services in order to continually improve the design and functionality, understand how the Services are used and to assist us with resolving questions regarding the Services. We may use cookies to track how you arrived at our site from another website to improve your on-line experience with us.

For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer and you may need to log in every time you visit the applicable Services.
Using Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a Google service that uses cookies and other, similar technologies to collect information about use of the Services anonymously and report website trends, without identifying individual users. We also use an enhancement to Google Analytics called "Demographics and Interest Reporting," through which Google provides us with information about our users’ demographics (e.g., age, gender) and interests. This information, which Google may collect by tracking a user’s behavior across third-party websites, helps us to learn more about our users. You can learn about Google’s practices in connection with this enhanced tracking and opt out of it by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Your "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP Addresses only in combination with Google Analytics. The Site may offer links to external sites, such as subscribing to newsletters. When following these links, it is the responsibility of the user to decide what information to share and to review that site’s privacy policy for specifics.
