This website may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. A protocol (IP) address is a number defined for your computer by your Internet service provider so that you can access the Internet and generally does not identify personal data, as in most cases the IP address is dynamic (changes with every Internet access) rather than static (single permanent number assigned by the internet service provider). “Internet tags” (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than “cookies” and send information to the website provider on the IP address and type of browser with regards to the visitor's computer. This website uses “Internet tags”. Internet tags have been placed on online ads that bring visitors to the website’s home, as well as to different pages of the website. These “Internet tags” indicate how many times a page is visited and what information is accessed. We do not collect or search for personal data through these tags. "Navigational Data" ("log files", "server logs", and "clickstream" data) are used in the system management to improve the website content, conduct market research, and communicate information to visitors.
