Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons, and Analytics Information. We, as well as third parties that may provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services.

We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.
Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics and/or other service providers to collect and process analytics information on our Services.
