Information That Is Collected Automatically

We also may collect and store, and permit our service providers to collect and store, information that does not identify you personally that is generated automatically as you navigate through the site. For example, we and our service providers may collect limited information about the configuration of your computer or other device through which you visit our website, including the type of browser software you use, the operating system you are running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the website that referred you, and your IP address. (An IP address is a numerical address that identifies your computer to other computers connected to the Internet so that data – such as the web pages you want to view – can be transmitted to you.) We use this information to make our website as useful as we can for our users.

Cookies and Pixel Tags

We may use “cookies,” a standard feature found in browser software, to enhance your experience on the site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We also may use pixel tags to collect non-personally identifying information about how our visitors use our site. By showing how and when visitors and registered users use the site, cookies and pixel tags help us identify how many unique users visit our site and various pages within our site, and anonymously track user interests, trends and patterns. For example, we may use these technologies to collect aggregate information about the time visitors spend on each page of our site or the number of visits made to each page or section of our site. Providers of web analytics services or software may use cookies and pixel tags to gather this sort of information on our behalf.

We also may use cookies to record certain preferences that you enter or set while using the site. For example, if you are a registered FOX member or a registered user of the FOX Public Network and you opt to have the site “remember you,” we will use cookies to automatically store your log-in information so that you will not have to re-enter it the next time you visit.

The help function on most web browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie or to disable cookies entirely. However, if you do not accept cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of certain features on our site. For example, we will not be able to store your log-in information, so that you do not have to log in each time you visit, unless you accept cookies.
