Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your

expire and are removed from your hard drive when you

your hard drive for extended periods of time. We use
both session and persistent cookies on this site. The
use of cookies helps us to assist your use of certain
aspects of the site, and also helps us evaluate usage

Clear Gifs
We employ a software technology called “clear
gifs” (also called “web beacons” or
“web bugs”) to help us better manage content
on our site by informing us about which content is
effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique
identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used
to track the online movements of web site visitors. In
contrast to cookies, which are stored on your
computer’s hard drive, clear gifs are embedded
invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the
period at the end of this sentence. We do not link the
information gathered by clear gifs to any
personally-identifiable information you submit while
using our site.
We also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us
know which emails have been opened by recipients. This
allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain
communications and the effectiveness of our marketing
campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails,
follow the directions at the bottom of the email
message.
