5. Our use of Cookies, Web Analytics Services, Web Beacons and Links
- Cookies. Our web pages use “cookies.” Cookies are text files with small pieces of data — like a username and password — that are used to identify your computer as you use a computer network. Specific cookies known as HTTP cookies are used to identify specific users and improve your web browsing experience. Data stored in a cookie is created by the server upon your connection. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at one of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on our sites. We also may use cookies to offer you products, programs, or services. You have many choices with regards to the management of cookies on your computer. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from your system. To learn more about your ability to manage cookies, please consult the privacy features in your browser.
- Web Analytics Services. We use Google Analytics, a service for the marketing analysis of the site provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to allow us to understand how you use our site in order to improve your experience. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html and the Google Privacy Policy available at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

- Web Beacons. A web beacon is any of a number of techniques used to track who is visiting a web page. They can also be used to see if an email was read or forwarded or if a web page was copied to another website. Our Company and third parties may use “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. These “web beacons” may be used to deliver cookies that conform to our Company’s cookie requirements. Setting your browser to decline cookies or to prompt you for a response will keep "web beacons" from tracking your activity.
- Links. We may create links to other web sites. In doing so, we will take reasonable effort to link only to sites that meet similar privacy policy standards. However, other sites with whom we have no association nor are authorised may link to our site. We cannot control these links and hold no responsibility for any content appearing on these sites.

We will keep your personal data only as long as required to serve those purposes and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
