How We Use Cookies
A web browser cookie is a small text file that is sent by a website to your computer or
mobile device, where it is stored by your web browser. We use cookies and tracking
technologies to generate aggregate statistics about how people use the Website; for error

Analytics on Our Website
As with many websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how you and other visitors
engage with the Website. This may involve the use of cookies that collect information (such
as your IP address or other identifiers, browser information, and information about the
content you view and interact with) to record how you use the Website. We also use services
provided by Crazy Egg, Inc., which collects information regarding how users engage with the
Website to generate metrics such as: scroll maps (commonly viewed areas), heat maps (areas
that engage users), and recordings (anonymized individual user engagement across multiple
pages).
These services help us to determine how many users we have, which parts of our Website are
most popular, what browsers are being used (so we can maximize compatibility), the country
or region where our users are located, and the demographics and interests of our users. This
enables us to better understand who is using the Website and to improve how we present
content.
