In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies:
Web Beacons
Web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs) are small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. They are used to track page views, email opens, and user behavior.
Local Storage
Local storage allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data does not expire and is not sent to the server with every request. We may use local storage to improve Site performance and user experience.
Fingerprinting
Device fingerprinting involves collecting information about your device configuration (such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and installed fonts) to create a unique identifier. We may use fingerprinting for security and fraud prevention purposes.
Log Files
Our servers automatically collect certain information in log files, including IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and timestamps. This information helps us analyze trends, administer the Site, and gather demographic information.
Third-Party Services
We work with third-party service providers who may use cookies and similar technologies. These providers include:
Analytics Providers
We use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our Site. These services collect information such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, and conversion metrics.

Customer Support Tools
We use customer support and chat services that may set cookies to provide assistance and track support interactions.
Note: Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of these providers to understand how they collect and use your information.
International Data Transfers
Some of the cookies and tracking technologies we use may involve the transfer of your information to servers located in different countries. These transfers are necessary to provide our services and may involve countries with different data protection standards than your own.
When we transfer your information internationally, we take appropriate measures to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
