However, certain services to which you may subscribe through the website (e.g., e-mail messages, employment opportunities, and event announcements) may require you to provide Personally Identifiable Information.

Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual’s computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. B&D uses cookies and other technologies to facilitate users’ ongoing access to and use of its Site. B&D and its service providers may also use various Internet technologies, such as “pixel tags,” “action tags,” “web bugs,” “.gif tags,” “JavaScript,” or similar technologies (together, “Tracking Tools”) in connection with Site pages and e-mail messages in certain formats to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and e-mail recipients, to determine the success of marketing campaigns, and to compile aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. Tracking Tools allow B&D to count users who have visited certain pages of the Sites, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in e-mail messages in certain formats, Tracking Tools can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.

When you revisit the Site, B&D may recognize you by a Tracking Tool and customize your experience accordingly. For example, once you have completed the registration process, a Tracking Tool or cookie will be used to avoid having you register again.
