Other tracking technologies

Pages on this website and emails sent to you may contain small electronic files known as web beacons and other tracking technologies that enable us to count users who have visited those pages, opened our email newsletters, or clicked on links in the email newsletter.

Web beacons in email newsletters are not anonymized and contain PII including your name, email address, the date and time you open the email, and the date, time, and destination of links you click on in the email message.

We use Constant Contact to send our email newsletters. We encourage you to review the Constant Contact Privacy Policy.

You may be able to limit the tracking of the date and time you open the email by setting your email client to not display images when you receive email newsletters or by changing your subscription preferences to plain text rather than HTML. Making these changes means you will miss out on the photos we include in our newsletters. There is no user option for opting out of click tracking of links in either HTML or plain text email newsletters.
