For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to our site and our sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on our site and help us serve relevant ads to you.

    We use cookies on our site. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us. We also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-our site sites that host our plugins (for example, our site's "Share" button) or tags.

    What types of cookies does our site use?
    We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to our site or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by our site when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services (for example, our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

    What are cookies used for?
    Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit our site, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that's in line with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions with our site faster and more secure. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the our site sites, and bring customized features to you through our site plugins such as our "Share" button.

    Advertising
    We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off the our site site. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad on our site later visited and took an action on the advertiser's site. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we've shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with a partner to show you an ad on or off our site, such as after you've visited a partner's site or application.

    What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
    DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, our site does not use "do not track" signals.

    How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
    Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
    If you are a our site member but logged out of your account on a browser, our site may still continue to log your interaction with our services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our services, which analytics we may share in aggregate form with our advertising customers.
    Unless you clear these cookies from your browser, we may use this information to:
    provide more relevant, interest-based advertising
    provide aggregate reports of ads activity to advertisers and websites hosting the ads
    help website and app owners understand how visitors engage with their sites or apps
    detect and defend against fraud and other risks to protect users and partners

    We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers. You can opt-out of off-site and third-party-informed advertising by adjusting your settings.

    What third-party cookies does our site use?

    Controlling cookies
    Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

    What to do if you don't want cookies to be set or want them to be removed?
    If you don't want us to use cookies when you visit our site, you can opt-out of some cookies on your settings page. In order for us to recognize that you have opted out of cookies, we have to place our our site opt-out cookie on your device so we can know not to set other our site cookies the next time you visit.
