We may enable you to log into the Services using a social media account and, if you do so, you may be asked to grant us access to certain information from your social media profile. Social media networks operate independently from PE, and we are not responsible for social media networks’ interfaces or privacy or security practices. Please refer to the privacy settings of the applicable social media platform or application to determine how you may manage the interactivity between PE and your social media account. 
When you use the Services, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as:

  • Web Beacons - A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server.
  • Locally Stored Objects - Certain features of the Services may use local shared objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and how you interact with the Services. 
  • Third-party analytics tools that collect information about use of the Services and user traffic.

It helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users. 

Your web browser may let you choose your preference as to whether you want to allow the collection of information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. We honor any “do not track request” preferences you may have set in your web browser regarding such collection of your information.
