You can modify your browser settings to decline or accept certain cookies. However, if you decline certain cookies, some of our Site's features may not function as designed.
b. Analytics Information
We may use Google Analytics or other service providers for analytics services. These analytics services may use cookies to help us analyze how users use the Site. Information generated by these services (e.g., your browser, device, and usage data) may be transmitted to and stored by Google Analytics and other service providers on servers in the U.S. (or elsewhere) and these service providers may use this information for purposes such as evaluating your use of our Site, compiling statistic reports on our Site's activity, and providing other services relating to Site activity and other Internet usage. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or by downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
c. Third-Party Ad Networks
Certain companies may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") AdChoices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for Interest-based Ads that links to an opt-out tool which allows you to exercise certain choices regarding targeting. You can learn more about the DAA AdChoices Program here. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of certain Interest-based Ads delivered by NAI members' ad networks. You can learn more about opting out of such targeted advertising and using the NAI tool here.
Please be aware that even if you opt out of certain kinds of Interest-based Ads, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads. Opting out of one or more NAI or DAA members only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser(s), or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI/DAA browser-based opt-out may not be effective. Mobile device opt-outs will not affect browser-based Interest-based Ads even on the same device, and you must opt-out separately for each device. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties' opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

6. Data Security and Retention
The security of your personal data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
