In addition, we may use pixel tags which are tiny graphical images (sometimes referred to as web beacons), to tell us what parts of the Site customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our Site. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages that customers can read and know if emails were received or opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate unwanted messages.
