3. Log files: Server logs record requests, IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, timestamps, and other technical data used for analytics and site administration.
4. Clear GIFs / Web Beacons: We may use web beacons to track anonymous usage patterns, including in emails to measure open rates.

2. To send administrative messages (e.g., important updates), or marketing messages only when you have opted in.
3. To analyze and improve the site, personalize content, and deliver relevant features and promotions.
4. Cookies, log files, and web beacons are used to remember preferences, monitor campaigns, and measure aggregate metrics.
