However, some areas of the Site may not provide you with an acceptable user experience if you have disabled the use of cookies.

IP Addresses and Automatic Information
We may collect IP addresses and/or Automatic Information for purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and sponsors.

We may also use Automatic Information to provide you with a more personalized user experience.

Web Beacons
Consistent with standard practice within the web publishing industry, web pages throughout the Site may contain electronic images (generally, single-pixel “.gif” images) called “web beacons.” These web beacons allow CCC to access certain cookies that were set in a domain different from that which is displayed in the current web page’s address bar. CCC’s use of web beacons, includes, without limitation, the following:

  • CCC may use web beacons within the Site in order to count unique users (actually, unique web browsers), visits and page views. Unique browser recognition is possible through the use of web beacons and associated cookies that may be managed by a third party site analytics partner.
  • CCC may use web beacons to monitor Site traffic and conversion patterns through our various product and service offerings. This allows us to determine the most appropriate methods to serve our transaction-oriented customers.
  • CCC may use web beacons to provide our web-serving applications with access to CCC cookies. This allows us to personalize your experience when you visit the Site.
  • CCC may include web beacons in HTML-formatted email messages (messages in which we are able to include graphics). These beacons allow us to determine whether or not email messages were opened, links were clicked and notifications/offers were acted upon.
