We strive to provide You with choices about the personal information You provide to Us. We have created mechanisms to provide You with the following control over Your information:

• Tracking Technologies and Advertising . You can set Your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert You when cookies are being sent. To learn how You can manage Your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website . To learn how You can manage Your other cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ . If You disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of Your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide You with ways to choose not to have Your information collected or used in this way.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that You can set in Your browser. DNT is a way for You to inform websites and services that You do not want certain information about Your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing You with meaningful choices about the information We collect and that is why We provide You the ability to opt out. However, We do not recognize or respond to any DNT signals as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. For more information, visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
