Automatic Data Collection
We use what are commonly called cookies when you use our Site. We use these cookies to help us serve you better based on your registration preferences. We may also use cookies to help us facilitate any promotions or surveys that we provide.
We sometimes use cookies, as well as tracking technology, such as web beacons, within the promotional emails that we send to our subscribers or advertisements for our Site.

Such information is non-personally identifying and collected on an aggregate level. We sometimes utilise third party service providers to help us track the activity within our Site.

You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by following the instructions on the pages where we collect your data.

Each vendor must agree to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of your information in order to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.
