newsletters in order to
determine whether messages
have been opened and acted
upon. Some of these Web
beacons may be placed by
third party service
providers to help determine
the effectiveness of our

email communications. These
Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on

the service provider to
recognize your computer each
