We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Uproad Web sites. Still, we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Uproad or others on Uproad's behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
When we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner, you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs by using various technologies, including one called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you.

You can set your browser to notify you before receiving a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.
Some Uproad Web sites also use Web beacon or other technologies to tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on some pages across Uproad's Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated, which may be processed by our suppliers or by us. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacons and other technologies may still detect visits to these pages. Still, the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. We may use cookies to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. Some Uproad pages use cookies so that we can better serve you when you return to our site.
