PROTECTION ON PIXEL TAGS
We may use "pixel tags," which
are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use
of our websites. A pixel tag can collect information such
as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that
downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL (Uniform
Resource Locator) of the page on which the pixel tag appears;
the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the
type of browser that fetched the pixel tag; and the identification
number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by
that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable
e-mail, we may use "format sensing" technology,
which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received
and opened our e-mail.
