Tracking Tools

We may use tools outlined below in order to provide the Website or Services, advertise to, and better understand users.

Cookies

When you interact with the Website, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, �cookie� information, and the page you requested.

Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as pixels and beacons) are comprised of small bits of data that often include a de-identified or anonymous unique identifier. Websites, apps and other services send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer, so the website can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. We may use these technologies to collect and store information about your usage of the Website (such as the pages you have visited, content you have viewed, search queries you have run, and advertisements you have seen), which information is then used to understand your preferences so as to enable us to provide you with improved services in future visits, and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the �Help� section of your browser for more information. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features, content, or personalization available through the Website.

Analytics

We, as well as third-party vendors acting on our behalf (such as Google), may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the Google, Yahoo cookies) or other third-party identifiers to gather anonymous analytics and statistics about our Website and how it is are being used by our visitors so we can improve our Website. Our web server storage logs may collect the domain names, internet protocol addresses, the types of web browsers, and certain data of visitors to the Website.

Data about your activities online may be collected for use in providing advertising tailored to your individual interests, either by us, our affiliates, or third parties. We may work with third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve advertisements across the internet and may use third party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of these ads on third party websites and viewing of ads and of our content.

We and these third-party vendors, including Google, may use third-party technologies (such as a Facebook Custom Audience Pixel) together with our own first party technologies in order to analyze ad impressions, your use of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services. The information collected may also include information about your visits to our Website, include the pages you have viewed and what content you have seen. These third-party tracking technologies may be set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c) understand the effectiveness of the advertisements that have been delivered to you.

Behavioral Advertising

We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising.This means that some of our partners use tracking tools to collect information about a user�s online activities to display CountryPlace Mortgage ads to the user based on the user�s interests (�Behavioral Advertising�). Our partners may include third-party advertisers and other third-party service providers, and such partners may collect information when you use the CountryPlace Mortgage Services, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, and demographic information. These tracking tools help CountryPlace Mortgage learn more about our users� demographics and Internet behaviors.

Options for Opting Out of Cookies and Advertising

You can opt out of certain tracking and advertising, as follows:

1.     By visiting the Network Advertising Initiative consumer opt out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/,

 

2.     By using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or

 

3.     By visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance�s opt-out page at https://www.aboutads.info/choices.

�Do Not Track� (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a �Do Not Track� (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser�s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including CountryPlace Mortgage, do not proactively respond to DNT signals.For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

New standards are being developed for a Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allow users with GPC-enabled browsers and devices to send a signal that will communicate the user�s request to opt-out of sales of their personal information and to opt-out of certain sharing of their personal information. The CPRA and other laws allow for the acceptance of Opt-Out Preference Signals such as the GPC, as an option for users to transmit an Opt-Out of selling or sharing personal information. If we detect and recognize such a signal from your device or browser, we will honor it.
