Your Choices Regarding Cookies
Company may gather information to track user trends and site usage with the goal of improving our website users' experiences and optimizing our websites. Company also uses the
information to administer websites and prevent abuse.
Cookies are text files stored on your computer and accessible only to the websites which create them. Company websites may use cookies to keep you logged into secure areas of the
website and/or to keep track of your preferences as you interact with certain services. You may disable cookies in your browser; however, Company websites may not work as designed if
you do so. Company may automatically collect certain data in conjunction with third party tools to gather metrics on site usage including geographic location of visitors, pathways
navigated through the website, and which portion of our audience is internal to the Company network. The information Company collects in this manner does not identify you as an
individual. Company may use technical methods to determine if individuals have viewed emails Company sends. This information is often used to make Company websites, and emails you have
agreed to receive, more interesting to you. As outlined above, non-personally identifiable web information (cookies, site navigation, etc.) gathered may also be shared with third
parties to improve programs, outreach, and other campus initiatives. Additionally, aggregated metrics may be shared with vendors to improve communications related to these activities.
