We use third party application companies to serve emails and surveys on our behalf across the Internet and to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. Through the use of cookies and Action Tags (commonly referred to as Web beacons or GIF tags – e.g., Atlas cookies and Action Tags, Alterian tags and DoubleClick Web beacons), which are inserted in various places within our Web site and communication campaigns, such third party companies may collect anonymous information about your visits to the Web Associates site and your interaction with our ads and content. For instance, they may keep track of how many of our emails you had seen before visiting our Web site. These third party companies may share such anonymous information about your visits to this and other Web sites with us. If you would like more information about the use of third party cookies and tags, or the process of opting out of such cookies or tags, please contact us.
