Clear gifs (invisible pixels)

We employ a software technology called “clear gifs” or “invisible pixels”, which help us to better manage the content of the Sites by informing us about the effectiveness of that content. Clear gifs are small picture files with a unique identifier, a function similar to that of cookies, which are used to track users’ movements online. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s computer hard drive, invisible pixels are embedded invisibly in web pages and are about the size of the point at the end of this sentence. We do not associate the information collected by these invisible pixels with our users’ personal information.
