   We may collect information using “cookie” and other similar technologies. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your mobile device’s hard drive (or other storage medium) so that your computer will “remember” information about your use. We use both first and third party session cookies and persistent cookies. Below is a general primer on session and persistent cookies; information collected by cookies depends on its particular purpose.
   • Session Cookies: We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Services. A session ID cookie expires when you close the Services.
   • Persistent Cookies: A persistent cookie remains on your device for an extended period of time or until you delete them. To the extent we provide a log-in portal or related feature on our Services, persistent cookies can be used to store your passwords so that you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to personalize the experience on our Services.

   If you do not want us to place a cookie on your device, you may be able to turn that feature off on your device. Please consult your browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies.

You also authorize us to use and/or share Information as described below.

• Aggregate Data:
  • In an ongoing effort to better understand our users, the Services, and our products and services, we may analyze certain Information in anonymized and aggregate form in order to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the Services and/or such products and services. This aggregate information does not identify you personally.  We may share and/or license this aggregate data to our affiliates, agents, business and promotional partners, and other third parties.  We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe the Services and these products and services to current and prospective business partners and investors and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
• Onward Transfers to Third Parties and Business Transfers:
  • We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting and storage services, technical assistance, customer service, marketing assistance, and administration of our Services.  These other companies will have access to the Information only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law.
