Cookies- are small text files that are saved on your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes;

Single pixel gifs- are small image files similar to web beacons that allow our third-party tracking tools to gather information, such as your IP address, and provide this back to us in an anonymized aggregate form (i.e. in a manner where we cannot identify you). Aggregate information refers to personal information compiled and expressed in a summary form where no personal identifiers are included.
You may delete or disable certain of these technologies at any time via your browser. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use some of the features on our Services.
5. Third-Party Links: Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, such as advertising sponsors.

6.

7. Security of Your Personal Information
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include physical, administrative and electronic (technological) security measures that are reasonable given the sensitivity of the personal information collected, the amount, distribution and format of the personal information, and the methods of storage. However, there is always a certain level of risk involved when personal information is collected, processed and stored and we are unable to guarantee the security of your personal information.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
