Tracking Pixels

We also collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of tracking/website pixels. A tracking pixel is a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a web page or online advertisement and, in combination with a cookie, allows for the collection of information regarding the use of the web page that contains the tracking pixel. We use tracking pixels to tell when an advertisement has been clicked on or otherwise interacted with, and use that information to judge which advertisements are more appealing to users. We also use tracking pixels on our website to send digital ads to users who have visited the site. In some cases, we use third party service providers to help us collect and analyze this information.
