Web Beacons

We incorporate web beacons into our marketing emails.

Web beacons are triggered when you open a marketing email or access a webpage that contains them. They transmit data upon being viewed but do not have the ability to access any other information on your device. Additionally, web beacons are not saved on your hard drive unless you download a GIF image that contains them.

Certain browsers may allow you to restrict web beacon usage by blocking information from being sent back to the source (for example, through settings that block cookies and trackers) or by preventing the display of images in your emails (such as choosing a "do not display images" option in your email settings).
