For example, we may collect your IP address, which is the number automatically assigned to your computer or mobile device whenever you access the Internet, as well as information about the type of Web browser software you use and the referring Website, if any. Your IP address does not typically identify your name or email address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with and to administer the Website.

We also automatically collect information through the use of “web beacons.” A web beacon, also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server.

These technologies make it easier for you to use the Website.

This data helps us improve the appearance and usability of the Website.
