  C. Clear Gifs / Web Beacons / Web Bugs

  Our third party tracking utility partner employs a software technology called clear gifs (also known as web beacons or web bugs), that informs us what content is effective and helping us improve Members' sites. Clear gifs are tiny graphics which contain unique identifiers that function similar to cookies and are used to track the online Member movements on Websites. In contrast to cookies which are stored on a Member's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on webpages. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our Members' personally identifiable information.
