Plytix or our service providers may also use "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Plytix Site pages and HTML-formatted email messages for purposes of, among other things, compiling aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to website visitors and may be associated with cookies on visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us and our service providers to count Users who have viSited certain pages of the Plytix Site, to deliver customized services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can inform the sender of the email whether and when the email has been opened.

As you use the internet, you leave a trail of electronic information at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Plytix Site. We may use clickstream data as a form of non-personally identifiable information to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Site, how visitors navigate through the Site, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. We will only use this information to improve our Site.

Do Not Track. At present, the Site does not specifically respond to browser do-not-track signals.
