- How we disclose or make information available to others
- Choices you may have regarding these technologies
1. Types of cookies and tracking technologies we use
  Our Digital Properties and the third parties that we authorize may use the following tracking technologies:
  - Cookies, which are a type of technology that installs a small amount of information on a user’s computer or other device when they visit a website. Some cookies exist only during a single session, and some are persistent over multiple sessions over time.
  - Pixels, web beacons, and tags, which are types of code or transparent graphics that contain a unique identifier. In addition to the uses described in Section 5.2 below, these technologies provide analytical information about the user experience and help us customize our marketing activities. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixels, web beacons, and tags are embedded invisibly on web pages.
  - Session replay tools, which record your interactions with our Digital Properties, such as how you move throughout our Digital Properties and engage with our webforms. In addition to the uses described in Section 5.2 below, this information helps us improve our Digital Properties and identify and fix technical issues visitors may be having with our Digital Properties.
  - Embedded scripts and SDKs, which allow us to build and integrate custom apps and experiences, some of which may be developed by a third party.
2. Purposes for Using These Technologies
  We and authorized third parties use these technologies for purposes including:
  - Personalization, such as remembering user preferences, login details and browsing behavior; tracking your activity across online properties and platforms over time to better understand your preferences and interests; and personalizing online content;
  - Improving performance, such as maintaining and improving the performance of our Digital Properties;
  - Analytics, such as analyzing how our Digital Properties are used. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us improve our Digital Properties, performance and user experiences. Google Analytics may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. To learn how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit: “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners; and
  - Advertising, such as providing you with offers that may be of interest to you; conducting targeted advertising to you on our Digital Properties and those of third parties; and measuring the effectiveness of our communications with you and advertising campaigns, including identifying how and when you engage with our communications.
3. Personal Data Collected
  These tracking technologies collect data about you and your device, such as your IP address, cookie ID, device ID, AdID, operating system, browser used, browser history, search history, and information about how you interact with our Digital Properties (such as pages on our Digital Properties that you have viewed).
4. Disclosures of Personal Data
  We may disclose information to third parties or allow third parties to directly collect information using these technologies on our Digital Properties, such as social media companies, advertising networks, companies that provide analytics including ad tracking and reporting, security providers, and others that help us operate our business and Digital Properties.
5. Your Choices
  Some of the third parties we work with participate with the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). The DAA and NAI provide mechanisms for you to opt out of interest-based advertising performed by participating members at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.
  
  You can also refuse or delete cookies using your browser settings. If you refuse or delete cookies, some of our Digital Properties’ functionality may be impaired. Please refer to your browser’s Help instructions to learn more about how to manage cookies and the use of other tracking technologies. If you change computers, devices, or browsers; use multiple computers, devices, or browsers; or delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer, device, or browser. Opting out of interest-based advertising will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interest-based advertising from us or our agents or representatives. Some browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) preferences. We do not currently honor such signals.
Data Retention

Your Personal Data will be retained as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we have outlined above unless we are required to do otherwise by applicable law. This includes retaining your Personal Data to maintain our relationship with you or your company; to improve our business over time; to ensure the ongoing legality, safety and security of our services and relationships; and for other legitimate business purposes in accordance with our internal retention procedures. If you are an employee of our vendor, once you or your company has terminated your relationship with us, we may retain your Personal Data in our systems and records in order to ensure adequate fulfillment of surviving provisions in terminated contracts or for other legitimate business purposes, such as to enable easier future user onboarding, in order to demonstrate our business practices and contractual obligations, or to provide you with information about our products and services in case of interest.

- If you delete the token, you will need to disable “Sale/Sharing” in the CMP from that browser again.
- If you have blocked such technologies, we will be unable to fully comply with your request.
To the extent required by law, we will honor opt-out preference signals sent in a format commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP header field or JavaScript object. We will process opt-out preference signals at the browser level.

In most cases we will collect some or all of the following data elements: first and last name, email address, and telephone number.

In most cases, we will collect some or all of the following data elements: first and last name, email address, and telephone number. In some cases, we may request different or additional information, including a signed declaration that you are who you say you are, and will inform you if we need such information.

Authorized Agents: Authorized agents may exercise rights on behalf of California residents by submitting a request via our webform available at privacychoices.confie.com or by calling us at 877-214-0149 and indicating that they are submitting the request as an agent.
