Although the term “cookie” commonly is used to refer to a small text file stored on a computer that keeps track of your visits to web sites and/or can contain log-in information so you don’t have to re-enter information each time you visit, we will use the term “cookie” to refer generically to any technology that can recognize, collect or transmit information about your visits to our Websites. “Cookie” information typically includes such data as the Internet or web domain that referred you, the type of operating system and browser you are using, the date and time of your visit, information relating to activities on our Websites (e.g., ‘click stream’ data) and other technical attributes of your visits to our Website.
