Pixel Tracking: Third party advertising companies are used to place advertisements on other sites. We employ a common technique known as "pixel tracking" to measure the effectiveness of these advertisements and to compile aggregate usage statistics. Pixel tracking, which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites, on our Web site or in e-mail messages, involves the use of pixel tags (also known as "clear gifs," "web beacons" or "1-by-1 gifs") that are not visible to the user of the site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. For example, if you visit our Web site from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag will reference the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The pixel tag also may register this activity with a third party advertising company to allow us to count the number of times or when an advertisement is accessed. This data is used in our marketing and research. Personal information about you is never collected by the third party advertising company, nor is any tracking information generated from the pixel tag used by them for any purpose other than to report web site activity to us.
