We make recordings of that content, and connect that information to your Account, along with identifying all devices you use with your Account.

• Information Collected via Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use cookies and other technologies to collect usage data and store preferences. Information we collect via the data collection technologies described in this Section may be linked to other information about you and may be Personal Information. The Services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information automatically as you interact with and otherwise use the Services, and to collect such information over time and across different websites. We use cookies and similar technologies to, for example, collect “clickstream” data and other information, such as your browser type and version, operating system, and platform, referring and exit pages, domain names, landing pages, the average time spent using the Services, shows viewed, content searched for, access and viewing times, and other relevant statistics and information, and assign unique identifiers to the device you use to access the Services for the same purposes. We may associate the information obtained through cookies and similar technologies with your Personal Information so we can better customize your experience using the Services and/or the ads and promotions you see. By accessing and/or using the Services, whether as a guest or a registered user, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that you are giving us your consent to store your activities and your use of the Services as described in this Privacy Policy. These data collection technologies include:
1. Cookies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information downloaded to your device when you visit a website or other service and are stored by your browser. Cookies are then sent back to the originating service on each subsequent visit to that Service or to another website or service that recognizes those cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Our cookies enable us to facilitate access to different aspects of our Services. For example, by showing when and how you and others visit our Services, cookies help us to see which pages of the Services are popular and which are not. Cookies can also help us improve your enjoyment of the Services, for example, by remembering your session ID and other Personal Information used to identify you as an authorized subscriber to the Services. We may create a unique device or user ID for you and store it in a cookie so we can customize your experience based on your preferences. We may use cookies to personalize ads for the Philo Subscription Service and on other web properties. We may use session cookies during the time of your visit on the Services that may be deleted when you exit, depending on your browser, and we may also use more permanent cookies so we can recognize you if you return to the Services. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
2. Web Beacons and Pixel Tags. We may also use web beacons and pixel tags (also known as web bugs and clear GIFs). Web beacons (also called single pixel gifs, clear GIFs, or web bugs) are Internet tools, such as transparent images on the Services or in emails we may send you, that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page on the Services or ad on the Philo Subscription Service has been viewed or an email opened. For example, when you ask us to send you information, we may use web beacons to determine how many emails we sent were actually opened. A pixel tag is a type of web beacon embedded in an image on the Services. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad on the Philo Subscription Service, may contain a pixel tag. We may use web beacons and pixel tags to help us optimize and tailor the Services. In connection with the Philo Subscription Service, we may also use web beacons and pixel tags to help us track conversions and optimize and tailor advertising for you and other future visitors to the website. Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information, such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies sent by the third party.
3. Local Storage and Local Shared Objects. We may use local shared objects (LSOs) such as Flash Cookies and local storage, such as HTML5 Local Storage, to enhance user experience. Local storage is similar to browser cookies but can store data more complex than simple text. By itself, local storage does nothing to or with the data stored on your device. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on the Services or, in connection with the Philo Subscription Service, to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity may also use Flash cookies or HTML5 to collect and store information.

To learn more about your choices regarding cookies and other similar technologies, please see the "Cookies, HTML5 and Flash Cookies” and "Opt-Out Options for Third-Party Online Behavioral or Interest-Based Advertising” subsections of subsections of Section 4 of this Privacy Policy.
