Information That We Collect

When you visit our Websites, we may collect information from you two ways. First, you may voluntarily provide information to us, such as by completing an online form.

The personal information we collect is business-oriented data and is usually limited to contact information necessary for the relationship, such as name, address, and email address. We may collect such information, for example, when you fill out and submit a form, register to receive a newsletter or email communications, when you purchase and/or pay for a product, and when you send an email to us. In such case, we will collect whatever personal information you voluntarily provide in response to our request.

To enable us to collect this information, we use various “cookies.” Cookies are small data files that online services can store on, and retrieve from, a user’s computer or mobile device through the user’s web browser. The information is stored and retrievable either for the duration of a website visit (known as “session cookies”), or until some later point in time set by the website setting the cookie (known as “persistent cookies”).

Examples of information we and our service providers collect include how often someone visits our Websites and what they do while visiting. We and our service providers use this information to understand how our visitors use different Website services, pages and resources and to help us improve the Websites.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

We are not responsible for the effectiveness or compliance of third party opt-out mechanisms or programs. Please note that if you delete your cookies or upgrade your browser after having opted out, you will need to opt out again. Further, if you use multiple browsers or devices you will need to opt out on each browser or device. You can access the information on this Site without enabling cookies in your browser but disabling cookies may result in a diminished ability to take advantage of the services and related informational content on this Site.
