“Non-personally identifiable information” means information that does not identify you but which can be used to track certain Internet conduct. For instance, your computer’s IP address, your web browser’s identity, the type of computer, technical information about your means of connection to our Web Sites, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized, and what pages of the Web Sites you visit may all be used to collect information about how the Web Sites are used without identifying your name or other personally identifiable information.
The Company may collect non-personally identifiable information from you by “passive” means, often through the use of “cookies.” Our Web Sites use cookies to enhance your experience, and to track website use.

You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the Web Sites may not function properly.
It is possible to link non-personally identifiable information to individual names, but the Company does not do so except as may be necessary to investigate illegal conduct or any unreasonable conduct in connection with the use of the Web Sites, violations of the terms and conditions governing the Web Sites, to comply with legal process (e.g., subpoenas), and to assist law enforcement agencies or as otherwise required by law.
