Non-personal information may include information such as IP address assigned to your computer or mobile devices that you use to access the Site, tracking Site pages that are visited, the amount of time spent on our Site, clicks, page views, and which features users interacted with.

4. COOKIES AND OTHER METHODS TO COLLECT INFORMATION ONLINE:
We may use session and persistent “cookies,” session logs, spot light ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags, banner ads or links, and third-party click tracking analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregate or other non-personal information about Site visitors. These technologies are used by many websites to give users access to certain functions (e.g., for security purposes, to tailor communications with you, and to facilitate and personalize your experience while navigating a website). An explanation for these items and how they work follows.
A “cookie” is a small text file that helps us in many ways to make your visit to our Site more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to log in every time you come back to our Site if you have registered with out Site. They also allow us to tailor a web experience or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. There are a couple different types of cookies, which are discussed below. You can read in the “Help” function in your Internet browser how to prevent cookies, accept new cookies or deleted existing cookies. You can also learn there how to block all cookies or set up notifications for new cookies.
A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever.
A “persistent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until either (a) they expire, (b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, or (c) you manually remove them. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies; however, this may prevent you from having access to some Site functions or features.
The cookies that we currently use on our Site are listed in the following table:
