We use your User Identifier to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Services of the Site. Additionally, we may use your User Identifier to track your navigation of the Site.
Cookies. We may use a standard feature in browser software called “cookies” to enhance your experience with our site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us identify how many unique users visit the Site and track user trends and patterns. Cookies also benefit your use of the Site and save you time by storing and making easily available information required to use the Site. Information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org.

Clear Gifs. We may also employ a software technology called clear gifs (also known as web beacons) that help us better manage content on the Site by informing us what content is effective and of interest to our users. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. Clear gifs and cookies are not tied to your personally identifiable information and may be used to improve your user experience when using the Site.
Log Files. Like most standard website servers, Owner may use log files. Information collected in log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, your User Identifier, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), mobile network provider, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks.
