4. Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies to help customize the Site and improve your experience. The following technologies may be used:
- Cookies: We may use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.
- Web Beacons: We may use web beacons on our site and in our emails. Web beacons are tiny graphic objects with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, used to track online movements of Web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons are also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags. We may use web beacons to help us manage content on our site by informing us which content is effective.
- Tracking Pixels: We use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel), and LinkedIn Pixel to track the use of our Site and to measure the success of our marketing campaigns. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about your use of the Site and report on activities and trends. This information helps us understand how visitors interact with our Site and which pages are being visited the most. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Third-Party Websites
The Site may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. Once you have used these links to leave the Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in your discretion, protect the privacy of your information. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Site.
6. Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
7. Policy for Children
We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
8. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. 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. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by updating the “Effective Date” of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of updates.
