3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information.
We reserve the right to monitor your use of the services. As you navigate through the services, certain anonymous information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, click stream). The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive information collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to better understand how the Services are being used.
3.1 A "cookie" is a text file that this site sends to your browser in the form of a text file. For more details please read our Cookie Policy
3.2 An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the Services.
3.3 "Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixelGIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the Services and on different pages of the Services. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
3.4 "Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and click stream data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the Services, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information.
The Services may make full use of passively collected anonymous information, including without limitation the right to use such information to provide better service to Service users, customize the Services based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Services for your use. We reserve the right to share this anonymous, passive information in aggregated form.

We reserve the right to share anonymous, passive information collected on the services with third parties for purposes of serving 3rd Party Behavioral Ads. These 3rd Party Behavioral Ads do not identify you personally. Instead, they associate your behavioral data on visited sites with your browser, so that the ads your computer sees on this site are more likely to be relevant to your interests. 3rd Party Behavioral Ads require that that you be served with a cookie containing a tracking code. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this site.
