ii. Information Collected by Automated Means
We obtain certain information by automated means when you visit our sites. Usually, the information we collect does not identify you specifically as an individual, and we do not use this data to attempt to identify you at an individual user level. Usually, we aggregate the data and use it in statistical form to determine trends among groups of users.
The type of information we collect by automated means may vary, but generally includes technical information about your computer, such as an IP address or other device identifier. The information we collect may also include usage information and statistics about your interaction with our Web sites. That information may include the URLs of our Web pages visited by users, URLs of referring and exit pages, page views, time spent on a page, number of clicks, platform type, and other information about how you used our Web sites.
In cases where you use a mobile device to access our sites, we may receive information about the location of your device. In some cases, even if you are not using a mobile device, information about your general location may be discernable from your device’s IP address or the URLs we receive. If you access or use our sites or services with your mobile telephone, we may collect your telephone number.
Please note that if ads or other features of our site are provided by third parties, those parties may also use automated means of data collection that are subject to those third parties’ privacy notices and policies.
We use the information we collect by automated means to understand our users as a group, sometimes based on group traits such as demographics, to determine their preferences. As a result, we can develop and deliver new or modified offerings, improved with our users’ preferences in mind. As described below, we may also use it to provide a more personalized user experience and to manage advertising.
Here are some of the types of automated data collection that may occur when you use our sites:
Web Browsers: When you visit one of our Web sites, your browser automatically sends us your Internet Protocol (IP) address so that the Web pages you request can be sent to your computer or device. We use your IP address to determine additional information, such as whether the computer or device has ever been used to visit our site before; which site features were used the most often; and how much time was spent on a page.
Cookies: We may automatically collect information through “cookies,” which are text files placed on your device’s hard drive when you visit Web sites. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site. We use cookies, for example, for authentication purposes and to measure session activity on the site to determine which areas and features of the site are most popular. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Without cookies, however, you may not be able to take advantage of all of our site features.
“Flash Cookies:” We may also use “flash cookies,” also called “local shared objects.” Like other cookies, flash cookies are files stored on your computer, but flash cookies can store information that is more complex than simple text. These cookies can be helpful to us in storing your preferences regarding feature settings, and personalizing your experience. In some cases, local shared objects are also used to prevent fraud. Unlike regular cookies, browsers generally cannot be used to manage flash cookie placement. To learn more about managing flash cookies, you may wish to consult Adobe’s Web site and change the privacy settings they make available to users who wish to manage flash cookies. Like regular cookies, flash cookies improve your experience with our site, so disabling them may limit or eliminate features we make available to you.

The information is typically collected in log files, which generally track traffic on our Web sites. Purposes for this information collection may include managing our online advertising, including by determining which ads brought users to our Web sites. The information also is used for analytical purposes and to manage technical issues that may arise. We do not attempt to identify individual users through this information.
