Web beacons may be used together with cookies.
Social Media Widgets
Our Site and App may include social media tools, including social media widgets, to connect you to your social media accounts. These features set cookies or use other automatic collection and tracking technologies to collect information about you and your use of the social media features through and in connection with our Services.
