Similarly, third parties whose content or advertisements appear on this Website may also place web beacons in their ads or emails for the purposes of measuring the effectiveness of the content, advertisements or email messages.
A web beacon is an electronic image that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page or email message. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of this Website and our advertising in various ways. For example, web beacons may count the number of individuals who visit this Website from a particular advertisement or who make a purchase from this Website after viewing a particular advertisement or they may tell us when a web page is viewed and provide a description of the page where the web beacon is placed.
