The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:
- Cookies (or browser cookies). Cookies are small text files that are sent to, and stored on, your computer that allow our Sites to remember the settings and information that you submit, so that you do not have to re-enter them when you visit the website again or visit a new page on the same website. We also use cookies to measure how you use our Sites so that we can make sure that they meet your needs. You can control whether or not your computer accepts cookies by adjusting your browser's settings (for example, under the "Internet Options", "Settings" or "Preferences" feature of your browser). Please note, however, that refusing to accept cookies may affect your experience using our Sites.
- Adobe® Flash® Cookies. Certain features of our Sites may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Sites. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Pages of our Sites and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
We do not collect Personal Information automatically, but we may tie this information to Personal Information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.
