To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, please visit allaboutcookies.org.

5. Third-party cookies

In some cases, we may use third parties to provide services on our behalf and they may place cookies on your device to assist us with their services. This includes analytics services like Google Analytics and advertising providers like Facebook Ads.

6. How can you control cookies?

You may refuse cookies through your web browser controls which vary from browser to browser. Visit your browser's Help menu for more information. The following includes information about how to manage cookies on the most common browsers:

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. To find out more information, please visit:

7. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes referred to as "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files which contain unique identifiers that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us to, for example, monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their function.

8. GDPR Compliance

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we must obtain your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You will be presented with a cookie banner when you first visit our Website that allows you to manage your cookie preferences.

9. CCPA Compliance

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • Know what personal data is collected
  • Opt out of the sale of personal information
  • Request deletion of your data

We do not sell personal information, but we do share cookie data with service providers to perform business functions. To submit a request to exercise these rights you may use one of these two methods:

For all requests, please clearly state that the request is related to "Your Privacy Rights," indicate which type of request you are making, and provide your name, street address, city, state, zip code and an e-mail address or phone number where we may contact you. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or that do not include complete information.

To appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights request, please submit your appeal using one of the three methods above. Your appeal should include an explanation of the reason(s) you disagree with our decision. Within 60 days of receipt of an appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reason(s) for the decisions.

Only you, or an authorized agent may make a verifiable consumer request related to personal information about you. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative thereof, and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request, and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

We will respond to your verifiable consumer request within the time period allotted under the law. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response electronically. The response we provide will also explain the reason(s) we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide the personal information that is readily usable and should allow transmission of the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, as appropriate. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy and post the updated version on our Website.
