This Usage Information may include the browser that you are using, the URL that referred you to our portal and all of the areas within our portal that you visit, among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes. In addition, we collect your IP address or other unique identifier (Device Identifier) for your computer or other device used to access the portal (any, a Device). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access the portal, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. If you accessed content through an email account, a third party provider may make a hash  of your email address, which is a bit of text that uniquely identifies the email address but is designed to prevent reverse engineering so that the email address is not revealed (Hash).

Information gathered from your use of the portal may be combined with information from third party sources to identify your location by state and region (Region Location). More specific information about your geographic location may be collected for certain Applications (“Geolocation”), as more clearly spelled out in this policy.

A few of the Tracking Technologies that may be used to collect Usage Information include, without limitation, the following:

Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to visit the portal. We use cookies to collect information for record keeping purposes, to make it easier to navigate the portal and for other purposes, as described further in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are stored on users  hard drives. We use both session ID cookies  and persistent cookies.  Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the portal and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the portal easier for returning users by remembering a user?s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user?s hard drive from one session to the next. Flash cookies,  known as local shared objects, are data files placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built-in to or downloaded by you to your Device to personalize your visit. Our third-party service providers also may use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from standard browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_ma If you choose to disable cookies on your Device, some features of the portal may not function properly.

                Web Beacons. Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as 1×1 GIFs or clear GIFs) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the portal, to monitor how users navigate the portal, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

                Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the portal, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the portal, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

                HTML5. We use HTML5 in the AnimationXpress mobile website and certain mobile applications for the iphone or ipad (and any other Apple iOS device). HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser cookies file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.

                Geolocation Applications. For certain of the mobile portal, we may, and may enable a third party such as an advertiser to, ask you if you wish us to collect your geolocation in order provide you with information about goods and services within your geographic location. If you agree to have your geolocation collected, we and the third party, if applicable, will maintain information about your geolocation to facilitate your searching or implement other functionality in the portal, such as to serve targeted advertising.
