How We Use Cookies
Escrow Technologies Inc. websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our
services and to help personalize your online experience. We use cookies to store
your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time
by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display
your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these
websites.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in
or use other interactive features of Escrow Technologies Inc. websites and services

How We Use Web Beacons
We, or third parties with whom we have contracted or sub contracted, may use web
beacons on our website, in our e-mails, in our advertisements on other websites,
or in our advertisements in others' e-mails. A web beacon is an electronic image
that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page
or e-mail. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our website and our
advertising in various ways, for example, by counting the number of individuals
who visit our website from a particular advertisement or make a purchase from our
website after viewing a particular advertisement as well as by telling us when a
web page is viewed and providing a description of the page where the web beacon
is placed. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of our e-mail campaigns,
for example, by counting the number of individuals who open or act upon an e-mail
message, determining when an e-mail message is opened and determining how many times
an e-mail message is forwarded.
The information we collect may include some limited personal information, and web
beacons allow us to recognize users by accessing Escrow Technologies Inc. cookies.
We may also combine the information that we collect through web beacons with other
personal information we have collected from you. We use all of this information
to better tailor our marketing to you and may use this information for other purposes,
such as to enable a shopping cart, customize content on our website and undertake
internal research.
We may allow third parties to compile individual information or aggregated statistics
from our use of web beacons to enable such third parties to determine the effectiveness
of online marketing and to allow such third parties to develop statistics on how
often clicking on an advertisement results in a purchase or other action on the
advertiser's site. Aggregate information is anonymous and may include demographic
and usage information.
You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Please be aware that other websites that may be accessed through our website may
collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices
of those third-party websites linked to or from Escrow Technologies Inc. are not
covered by this Privacy Statement.
Please be aware that, in providing services on Escrow Technologies Inc.'s behalf,
our business partners may collect personal information about you.

a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change. We encourage you to periodically
