For instance, we may collect this information in connection with the various services we offer, which we may change from time to time. We may ask you to submit certain personal information so we can provide you with these services.

***Information Collected Automatically***. When you visit our Sites, we (and our third-party service providers) may collect information through automated technologies such as cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. We and our third-party service providers may combine and enhance this information with the personal information that we collect about you directly or from third parties. The information collected using these technologies may include your IP address, device ID, browser characteristics, operating system, the address of the web page that referred you to our Site, dates and times of Site visits, the language your system uses, and the country and time zone in which your device is located. These technologies also permit the collection of “clickstream data,” which may reflect your activities while browsing our Sites.

***Information Collected from Third Parties.*** We may combine personal information that you provide to us or we collect automatically with information we receive about you from third parties.

***Third-Party Analytics***. On our Sites, we use third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics. These services may rely upon technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us analyze how visitors reach and interact with our Sites. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers and may be combined with other information that they collect across unrelated websites and apps over time. To opt out of Google Analytics, click here. To learn more about Google's additional collection and analysis of information by automated means, including how to opt out, click here.

In Google Analytics, we have also enabled "Demographics and Interest Reports," a Google Analytics Advertising Feature which collects data about web traffic via Google Advertising Cookies that were previously placed on your web browser. This Analytics Advertising Feature allows Google to give us aggregated information concerning visitor demographics, such as age and gender, along with information related to the interests visitors express through their online browsing activities. If your Google account settings permit Google to use the information Google has collected about you to personalize advertisements, then Google Analytics may also use this information to identify other devices you use for advertising purposes. Please see the *Cross Device Linking* section and *Third-Party Ad Services* section below for more information about these activities and the choices available to you.

***Cross Device Linking***. Our third-party service providers may use the information collected about you (whether directly from you from our Sites, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our third-party service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). This is called cross-device linking. Our third-party service providers also may use cross-device linking and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices. To opt out of cross-device linking for targeted advertising purposes, you may follow the instructions set forth in the *Third-Party Ad Services* section below.

***Third-Party Ad Services***. We also use third parties, such as network advertisers, to serve advertisements on our behalf on third-party websites or other media based on information that these third parties collect about your activities on our Sites and unrelated websites and apps over time. This activity, called targeted advertising, enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested and learn more about our visitors’ online activities. The activities and technologies of these third parties are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.

You may go to the DAA WebChoices Page (http://www.aboutads.info/choices/) for information about opting out of targeted advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA Self-Regulatory program. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") Consumer Opt-Out Page (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) for information about opting out of targeted advertising by NAI members.

Opting out of targeted advertising will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications, but it may make the advertisements you see less relevant to your interests Please also note that if you opt out of targeted advertising, your opt out will be specific to the web browser or mobile device from which you made this choice. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to opt out each browser or device that you use. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites or if you later delete cookies, your opt out may not be effective.
